Received: 25.12.2013; Revised: 25.03.2014; Accepted: 14.05.2014 Fig. 1: MRI shows enlarged hyperintense extraocular muscles (left superior rectus, inferior rectus and medial rectus) retinal vein or artery occlusion. Ocular tonometry showed intraocular pressure of 18 mm Hg. Magnetic resonance imag ing (MRI) showed en larged hyperintense extraocular muscles (left superior rectus, inferior rectus ...

AIMS To examine the postoperative stability of inferior rectus recession, with particular reference to the incidence of progressive overcorrection. METHODS The results of consecutive patients undergoing inferior rectus recession over a 3 year period were reviewed. RESULTS 21 patients underwent inferior rectus recession, using an adjustable suture technique in all but three cases. In 16 pati...

PURPOSE To describe the clinical manifestations of subtypes of double elevator palsy and to report the outcomes of surgery in these patients. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted on hospital records of patients with double elevator palsy at Labbafinejad Medical Center over a ten-year period from 1994 to 2004. Patients were classified into three subgroups of primary elevator muscle p...

Vertical fusional vergence (VFV) normally compensates for slight vertical heterophorias. We employed magnetic resonance imaging to clarify extraocular muscle contributions to VFV induced by monocular two-prism diopter (1.15°) base-up prism in 14 normal adults. Fusion during prism viewing requires monocular infraduction. Scans were repeated without prism, and with prism shifted contralaterally. ...

The volume of the levator superior rectus muscle complex was determined from computed tomography scans of 152 orbits from 76 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. Clinically observed lid retraction and lid lag did not correlate with the levator/superior rectus muscle volume and did not correlate with limitation of vertical eye movements or inferior rectus muscle volume. These results do not sup...

We report a patient with partial oculomotor paresis due to midbrain infarction. A 69-year-old man noticed diplopia suddenly. Ptosis, and impaired adduction and supraduction were found in the right eye. The pupillary size and light reflexes were normal on both sides. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed an acute lesion in the right inferolateral oculomotor fascicle. These clinicoradiological fin...
