Vertical Incomitance following Squint Surgery: Way to Prevention
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim: Vertical incomitance can occur after muscle surgery, reasons remain unknown. In a prospective study, incidence and treatment was analysed. Material and methods: 40 consecutive esotropes where uniocular recession and resection was done were included in this study. First 20 had standard recession –resection and the rest 20 had hang back medial rectus recession along with resection andsplitting of lateral rectus resection in the same eye. Results: 4 cases in the first group and none in the other had postoperative vertical deviation. Conclusion: Splitting of maximally resected lateral rectus stabilizes the eyeball and prevents postoperative hyper deviation in large esotropes without any complication.

CASE REPORT We report 3 cases with a vertical incomitance in upgaze, narrowing of palpebral fissure, and pseudo-overaction of both inferior oblique muscles. Surgery consisted of an elevation of both lateral rectus muscles with an asymmetrical weakening. A satisfactory result was achieved in 2 cases, whereas a Lambda syndrome appeared in the other case. DISCUSSION The surgical technique of upp...
متن کاملIncomitance and Eye Dominance in Intermittent Exotropia
Purpose To determine if the deviation angle changes in subjects with intermittent exotropia as they alternate fixation between the right and left eye in primary gaze. Methods In this prospective observational cohort study, 37 subjects with intermittent exotropia were tested for evidence of incomitance. The position of each eye was recorded with a video tracker during fixation on a small centr...

Harms tangent screen, a subjective measurement method of three-dimensional binocular alignment, was compared with search coil recording. Twenty-three patients with unilateral trochlear nerve palsy were measured in nine gaze positions. The two methods correlated best for the horizontal gaze deviation, the vertical gaze deviation, and the vertical incomitance, but there was no correlation for the...
متن کاملAnticholinergic premedication for prevention of oculocardiac reflex during squint surgery.
BACKGROUND Profound bradycardia during eye surgery is potentially serious event. In clinical practice this Oculocardiac Reflex (OCR) is most often encountered during squint surgery. The objective of this study was to assess the occurrence of OCR and prove the effect of anticholinergic premedication (atropine) to prevent OCR. METHODS This study comprises of sixty patients (age 2-30 years) oper...
متن کاملLate reoperations for squint.
Ten patients in the age range 2 to 22 years are described who had operations initially for squint in childhood. Nine had had concomitant convergent strabismus and one divergent. All presented again in adult life with a cosmetic complaint, but two also had diplopia. Reoperations were done, age range 14 to 43. These ten were all the "late reoperations" for squint which were done during the four y...
