purpose : to evaluate outcome of surgically slanting extraocular muscle insertions in a and v-pattern strabismus methods : in this prospective non-randomized interventional case series, we created a slanting surgical reinsertion line with a 3- 4 mm difference between upper and lower corners of the muscles in 16 patients with a or v strabismus (v-exotropia in 10 patients, a-exotropia in 1 patien...

Vertically incomitant pattern strabismus comprises 50% of infantile horizontal strabismus. The oblique muscle dysfunction has been associated with pattern strabismus. High-resolution orbit imaging and contemporary neurophysiology studies in non-human primate models of strabismus have shed light into the mechanisms of pattern strabismus. In this review, we will examine our current understanding ...

Background: In 1991, Wright described a superior oblique expander procedure for browns syndrome and superior overaction with good results. Originally, this procedure has been performed with silicone band expander. The aim of this study was to report the results of treatment of a series of patients with A-pattern strabismus associated with overacting superior oblique muscle using the fascia lata...

PURPOSE To determine whether sinus disease may cause acquired strabismus. METHODS Patients with idiopathic acquired (nonaccommodative) esotropia and/or hypotropia were questioned in detail about possible contributing factors (trauma; family history of strabismus; thyroid, neurologic, or rheumatologic disorders). Acute versus chronic onset was ascertained. Those without obvious cause of strabi...

PURPOSE Myelomeningocele is one of the most common birth defects. It is associated with severe neurological deficiencies, and ocular changes, such as strabismus, are very common. The purpose of this study was to describe indications for strabismus surgery in patients with myelomeningocele and to evaluate the results achieved with surgical correction. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed record...
