Purpose Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is a rare eye movement disorder characterized by unilateral oscillopsia and binocular diplopia. Our study aimed to better understand SOM using infrared oculography. Methods We examined and recorded five patients with SOM. Results Binocular infrared oculography showed that in primary gaze, all patients exhibited torsional oscillations, which worsened i...

Abstract Background To evaluate the effect of modified superior oblique intrasheath tenectomy (MSOIT) on overaction (SOOA) with A-pattern. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data 66 patients (130 eyes) SOOA and A-pattern underwent MSOIT at nasal border rectus under an operating microscope between January 1, 2004 December 31, 2018. The (SO) tendon fibres were resected, sheath was preserved in a...

Superior lumbar triangle hernia, also known as Grynfeltt-Lesshaft hernia, denotes a subtype of abdominal wall hernia, and more specifically of lumbar hernia, occurring between the 12th rib, the internal oblique muscle, and the quadratus lumborum muscle. We report the case of a 92-year-old female patient in which this form of hernia occurred, complicated by incarceration and acute bowel obstruct...

PURPOSE The authors established a surgical treatment for excyclovertical strabismus in which either the inferior rectus muscle or the superior rectus muscle was transposed diagonally. The effects and the safety of the procedure, called skew transposition, were studied. METHODS Eighteen operations using local anesthesia with eye drops were performed on 17 cases, including 10 with superior obli...

purpose: to determine the effect of recession and myectomy on inferior oblique overaction (iooa). method: this study was performed on 50 patients (82 eyes) scheduled for iooa surgery who were randomly divided into two groups: recession (r) versus myectomy (m). a complete eye examination was performed before the operation. io was cut off at its inferior temporal region when using m procedure. in...
