We characterized and compared the characteristics of Ca2+ movements through the sarcoplasmic reticulum of inferior oblique muscles in the various conditions including primary inferior oblique overaction (IOOA), secondary IOOA, and controls, so as to further understand the pathogenesis of primary IOOA. Of 15 specimens obtained through inferior oblique myectomy, six were from primary IOOA, 6 from...

289 Soltan Sanjari et al[1] are to be commended on their paper “Surgical treatments in inferior oblique muscle overaction”. They report on a retrospective study of the treatment for inferior oblique overaction (IOOA) performed over a 10‐year period on 122 eyes utilizing three different surgical techniques to weaken the inferior oblique muscle. Disinsertion on 12 eyes, myectomy on 91 eyes, and a...

PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of surgical procedures in the treatment of inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA) as a common disorder of ocular motility. METHODS This retrospective study was performed on patients with primary and secondary IOOA who underwent three surgical treatment procedures including disinsertion, myectomy and anterior transposition, between 2001 and 2011. Type of stra...

Anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle (ATIO) and myectomy of the inferior oblique muscle (MIO) are surgical methods for treating dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) and are also used in patients with coexisting inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA). In order to compare the outcomes of these methods, a study of ATIO and MIO was carried out on patients with DVD of at least 5 ...

Objective. To evaluate and quantify the effect of inferior oblique muscle weakening on horizontal deviations. Methods. The medical files of patients who had undergone an inferior oblique weakening as a single procedure were all reviewed. The main measures were the type of inferior oblique overaction (IOOA), pre- and postoperative amount of IOOA, and horizontal deviations in primary position. Re...

Objectives: Inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA) is a common ocular motility disorder. Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (oVEMP) are tests that evaluate the reflex pathway between utricular macula and inferior to detect vestibular diseases. Our study of great importance as it first in literature effect on oVEMP parameters. Methods: Thirty-five patients with unilateral (IOOA grou...

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...

0892-6638/96/0010-031 7/sQl .50. © FASEB 317 ABSTRACT: S-100a0, the aa isoform of a subfamily of Ca2 4-binding proteins of the EF-hand type expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells, is reported to inhibit the assembly of the intermediate filament subunit desinin and to stimulate the disassembly of desmin intermediate filaments in the presence of micromolar levels of free Ca2 + These effec...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of bilateral inferior oblique transposition (BIOT) on horizontal deviation from primary position among patients with bilateral dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) associated with inferior oblique overaction (IOOA) in infantile strabismus. METHODS Retrospective chart review was conducted among 19 patients with infantile strabismus. All patients had DVD and IOOA...
