Management of a case of divergent strabismus fixus secondary to a congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles type 2

چکیده
A 17-year-old boy presented with a large exotropia with both eyes fixed in an abduction and upgaze, pupillary involvement since childhood. He had mild optic nerve hypoplasia in the right eye and situs inversus of the retinal vessels in the left optic disc. His ocular motility showed restriction of eye movements in all gazes. He was diagnosed with congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles, type 2 (CFEOM2) and operated upon in a staged procedure with a satisfactory eye alignment using hang-back sutures in one eye and periosteal fixation in the other. This report highlights the surgical course and final outcome in this case of CFEOM2.

Phenotypic heterogeneity may occur in congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) is an autosomal dominant, non-progressive disorder characterised by congenital ptosis and external ophthalmoplegia. CFEOM has previously been divided into several clinical entities; general fibrosis syndrome, strabismus fixus, vertical retraction syndrome, and congenital fibrosis of the inferior rectus. The purpose of this s...

PURPOSE To describe the demographics, characteristics, management pitfalls, and outcomes of pseudoptosis associated with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM). METHODS A retrospective review was performed of eight patients presenting with ptosis and hypotropia to oculoplastic service.

متن کاملLong-term outcome of strabismus and ptosis surgery in a mother and daughter with congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles.
BACKGROUND Congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles (CFEOM) is a very rare congenital condition, characterized by variable amounts of restriction of the extraocular muscles, with or without ptosis. The aim of this report was to describe a severe, atypical, exposure-induced corneal stromal lysis in two patients. CASE REPORT A mother and a daughter with a severe CFEOM were presented. The surg...
متن کاملNeurological features of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 2 with mutations in PHOX2A.
Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 2 (CFEOM2) is a complex strabismus syndrome that results from mutations in the homeodomain transcription factor PHOX2A. To define the clinical and neuroimaging features of patients with this autosomal recessive syndrome, we studied 15 patients with genetically defined CFEOM2. All patients underwent full neurological, neuro-ophthalmological and...

PURPOSE Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type I (CFEOM1), the most common CFEOM worldwide, is characterized by bilateral ptotic hypotropia, an inability to supraduct above the horizontal midline, horizontal strabismus (typically exotropia), and ophthalmoplegia with abnormal synkinesis. This distinct non-syndromic phenotype is considered autosomal dominant and is virtually always f...
