Slanted medial rectus recesection for treatment of exotropia with convergence insufficiency strabismus: a report of results in 15 cases.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical and functional results of slanted medial rectus resection for treatment intermittent exotropia of the convergence insufficiency type.

Methods: Fifteen patients with near vision asthenopia and intermittent exotropia of the convergence insufficiency type were included in this prospective study. The upper edge of the MR was resected more than the lower edge.

Large angle esotropia with high myopia and a lost medial rectus muscle: a case report.

A 67 year old woman presented with her left eye fixed in adduction and infraduction. She had previous complicated strabismus surgery 18 years ago with a report of intraoperative loss of left medial rectus (MR) muscle (not retrieved at the time of surgery). An Orbital MRI of the left eye showed reattachment of the MR muscle to the globe and an axially enlarged globe associated with inferior displacement of the lateral rectus and nasal displacement of the superior rectus muscles.

Successful extraocular muscle re-resection for a strabismus surgery complication: a "snapped" [severed, inadvertently] and retrieved inferior rectus muscle: a case report.

A 26- year-old woman who had a left head tilt since childhood was undergoing left inferior rectus resection to correct her left inferior rectus paresis. During the surgery, when the inferior rectus was isolated and engaged with an eye muscle hook, the muscle tore (snapped) completely into two pieces, 8 mm posterior to insertion. Fortunately, we were able to find the proximal portion of the muscle and, after a 3 mm resection, of the distal yet attached 8 mm portion, the proximal and distal portions were sutured together with a non-absorbable suture.

Bupivacaine injection myotoxicity on extraocular muslces. A strabismus alternative treatment: extended histological changes induced in a rabbit model.

Purpose: To evaluate longer term histological changes of extraocular muscles induced by bupivacaine toxicity.

Methods: The superior rectus and inferior rectus of white rabbits were injected with 0.4 mg of agent in 0.

Comparison of efficacy of azithromycin vs. doxycycline in the treatment of rosacea: a randomized open clinical trial.

Background: Rosacea is a common inflammatory disorder of the skin. Systemic antibiotics currently used in the treatment of rosacea are sometimes associated with uncomfortable side effects. Therefore, a need for an effective agent with few side effects and good patient compliance exists.
