No split, no tenotomy transposition procedure for complete abducens palsy

چکیده
Abducens palsy is one of the commonly encountered cranial nerve palsies in strabismus clinic. For large-angle esotropia, due to complete abducens palsies, various vertical recti transposition (VRT) procedures have been described. Hummelsheim and Jensen's procedure are especially popular among them. Risk of anterior segment ischemia and induced vertical deviation postVRT prompt to search for better procedures to correct the esotropia and also improve the abduction. Modified Nishida's procedure (no split, no tenotomy transposition) is one of the newly described procedure in this direction. We describe three cases of complete abducens nerve palsy treated by this procedure.

A muscle transposition procedure for abducens palsy, in which the halves of the vertical rectus muscle bellies are sutured onto the sclera.
PURPOSE To review the results of a muscle transposition procedure in which the halves of the vertical rectus muscle bellies are sutured onto the sclera, without tenotomy of vertical recti as in Hummelsheim's procedure or surgical treatment of the lateral rectus (LR) as in Jensen's procedure. METHODS Ten patients with abducens palsy received the procedure. We measured the ocular deviation and ...
متن کاملVertical muscle transposition with silicone band belting in VI nerve palsy
A woman aged 60 years developed a Millard-Gubler syndrome after a diagnosis of a cavernous angioma in the median and paramedian areas of the pons. In this context, she presented a right VI nerve palsy, right conjugate gaze palsy, facial palsy and left hemiparesis. To improve the complete VI nerve palsy, we planned a modified transposition approach, in which procedure we made a partial transposi...

Purpose To present the results of bilateral superior rectus transposition with medial rectus recession in a case of chronic bilateral sixth nerve palsy. Observation Bilateral superior rectus transposition with medial rectus recession resulted in full correction of esotropia with resolution of horizontal diplopia, improvement in abduction, and regain of stereoacuity in our case. There was mini...

Abducens palsy (ie, sixth nerve palsy) is the most common single extraocular muscle palsy. The primary symptom is double vision. The treatment goal is to correct the underlying cause. If no cause is identified or the palsy is related to a well-managed chronic disease, treatment consists of patching one eye or applying a temporary prism. We report a patient whose abducens palsy resolved with fou...
متن کاملMuscle union procedure with medial rectus recession for unilateral abducens palsy.
Five patients underwent a muscle union procedure with medial rectus recession. The mean preoperative esotropia in the primary position was 51.0 ± 20.1 prism diopters [PD] (range: 20 to 75 PD). The mean follow-up period was 6.2 ± 2.1 months (range: 3 to 8 months). The mean decrease in esotropia in the primary position was 49.0 ± 18.0 PD (range: 18 PD to 63 PD). The mean postoperative angle in th...
