A 19-year-old boy developed an adduction deficit after bilateral radiofrequency ablation of the inferior turbinate and septoplasty. Postoperative imaging disclosed an intact medial orbital wall and high T2 signal and enlargement of the medial rectus. Within 3 months, the motility deficit had resolved. This manifestation is attributed to injury of the medial rectus from radiofrequency ablation a...

INTRODUCTION Moebius syndrome is a rare disease characterized by unilateral or bilateral congenital nonprogressive facial nerve palsy along with limitation of ocular abductions. Vertical Rectus Transpositions with posterior fixation suture is known to correct abduction deficiencies in case of Moebius syndrome. Traditionally both superior and inferior rectus transposition are done to prevent any...

BACKGROUND Initial overcorrection after exotropia surgery has been considered as a desirable result. Recently, there had been several studies that reported better surgical results of augmented bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession procedure over the conventional procedure. OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term results of augmented unilateral lateral rectus recession-medial rectus resection ...

In juvenile patients with Graves’ disease, extraocular muscles may be involved. Ultrasonography is a very important and informative diagnostic method in patients with exophthalmos and Graves’ disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate medial and inferior extraocular muscle thickness in juvenile patients with Graves’ disease. Materials and methods: Ultrasonography was performed on 78 orbits o...

PURPOSE To compare the success rates and stabilities of postoperative alignment between adjustable and the non-adjustable surgeries in the treatment of sensory exotropia. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients with sensory exotropia who had undergone unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection (R&R) between January 1998 and August 2005. Thirty-four ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the primary surgery and reoperation outcomes of unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection (R&R) for intermittent exotropia. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 80 patients, all of whom had undergone unilateral R&R for intermittent exotropia as a primary surgery or reoperation and been followed-up on p...
