113 To the Editor: Ophthalmoplegia can cause diplopia, with a lot of etiologies including cerebrovascular disease. Nuclear ophthalmoplegia resulted from brainstem infarction is often accompanied by other symptoms of brainstem dysfunction. It is fairly rare that midbrain infarction only manifests as isolated medial rectus nuclear palsy. Here, we provided such an uncommon case and discussed the p...

We discuss here an interesting case of strabismus, due to bilateral absent medial rectus muscle associated with brain anomalies, and its surgical management.

STANDARDIZATION of the surgical treatment of strabismus has long been the ambition of surgeons. Even for the most experienced the number of millimetres of recession or resection to perform is always a difficult decision. Because of individual variation in response to similar surgical procedures, Cooper (1961) believed it difficult to predict the result. Knapp (1958) considered accurate estimati...

Purpose: A proper warm-up method can be used as a strategy to improve performance of athletes in various sport fields. The aim of present study was to compare the effect of two traditional and post-activation potentiation warm-up methods on electromyographic variables of lower extremity muscles during squat jump. Methods: Fourteen trained male athletes were randomly performed three different p...

A 54 year-old Caucasian gentleman with history of diabetes presented to emergency department with complaints of facial swelling for one week and left orbital pain of one day duration. The patient underwent computed tomography (CT) scan of head with intravenous contrast which revealed infl ammation of left medial rectus muscle and cellulites of medial left orbital coronal space deep to and surro...

Some patients with large-angle strabismus may refuse or may not meet the criteria for binocular surgical correction. A second option for these patients involves a monocular procedure, which can be performed under peribulbar anesthesia and offers certain advantages (1). Improved surgical outcomes for conventional procedures may enhance the effectiveness of monocular surgery. In theory, this enha...

Anterior segment ischemia is a rare but well-recognized complication after strabismus surgery, involving multiple extraocular muscles. We report a case of traumatic left sixth nerve palsy in a 32-year-old man who developed anterior segment ischemia after left medial rectus muscle recession and partial tendon transfer of the vertical rectus muscles to the lateral rectus, augmented by lateral fix...
