purpose: to describe the clinical findings, preoperative radiologic findings and results of surgery in a patient with congenital bilateral hypoplasia of medial rectus muscle case report: a 50-year-old man presented with large angle incomitant horizontal deviation with marked deficit of adduction of both eyes. mri finding defined very thin medial rectus muscle. intraoperatively medial rectus mus...

purpose: to present an extraocular muscle disinsertion in a pterygium surgery case report: a 61-year-old woman presenting an acute diplophia after a nasal pterygium surgery. the medical rectus muscle was cut during the primary surgery which was immediately reported and the muscle was reinserted to its original site and recovery was more or less obtained. conclusion: anatomical consideration met...

purpose: to identify the postoperative surgical outcomes and the changes in deviation in patients treated by bilateral medial rectus (bmr) recession for small to large angle esotropia with a minimum follow-up of two years methods: in this retrospective and consecutive case series, we reviewed medical records of 130 patients who had recession surgery for correction of esotropia between 2001-2011...

purpose: to compare bilateral medial rectus advancement (bmra) and bilateral lateral rectus recession (blrr) for treatment of consecutive exotropia in terms of final alignment. method: this randomized clinical trial was performed on 14 patients with consecutive exotropia. inclusion criteria included history of bilateral medial rectus recession, exotropia ³20 pd and far-near difference <10 pd. e...

purpose: to report a patient with exotropia due to medial rectus muscle entrapment as a complication of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (edcr). case report: a 34-year-old female was referred with left exotropia 18 days after edcr for treatment of primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction. she had a large angle left exotropia in primary position as well as complete limitation of adduction and parti...

purpose: to investigate demographic, clinical and histopathologic features of consecutive exotropia. methods: patients with consecutive exotropia who underwent surgery in farabi hospital between september 2014 and april 2015 were enrolled in this study. after complete ophthalmologic examination and far and near deviation measurement, all patients with negative forced duction test underwent 4-mm...

PURPOSE To report consecutive esotropia in contralateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection for recurrent intermittent exotropia after unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection and to evaluate the surgical outcome of modified contralateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection for exotropia after unilateral lateral rectus recession and medi...

Forty-six children awaiting surgery for concomitant esotropia were placed into two matched groups. One group received bilateral medial rectus recessions, while the second group received augmented bilateral medial rectus recessions. By recession the conjunctiva and subconjunctival tissue in addition to the medial rectus we consistently increased the correction obtained. With bilateral medial rec...

Although there is detailed knowledge on the organization of the motor neurons supplying the extraocular muscles, there are still some discrepancies concerning the results of different studies. This study is planned to reexamine the distribution of the motor neurons in the oculomotor nucleus of the rat. In the present study we used 20 young adult Sprague-Dawley rats in four groups which represen...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of unilateral medial rectus muscle resection for recurrent exotropia after bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession for intermittent exotropia METHODS A retrospective analysis was made of thirtypatients who underwent unilateral medial rectus resection for recurrent exotropia. All had prior bilateral lateral rectus recession for intermittent exotropia. Data w...
