[Results of inferior oblique muscle surgery in superior oblique paralysis].

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of inferior oblique muscle recession in certain cases of superior oblique paralysis. Twenty-three patients with moderate hyperaction of the inferior oblique muscle, secondary to paralysis of the superior oblique muscle, in whom a recession of the ipsilateral inferior oblique was applied were enrolled in this study. These cases were selected among those with congenital superior oblique paralysis and infantile nontraumatic paralysis and those of unknown origin.

Cerebellar astrocytoma presenting with acute esotropia in a 5 year-old girl. Case report.

We encountered a 5-year-old girl with acute onset of alternating, comitant esotropia in the absence of diplopia and other neurologic findings. She did not have any refractive error and seen bilateral papilledemas in fundus examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head was performed. A large cerebellar astrocytoma and moderate hydrocephalus was identified and successfully resected.

Background: Congenital esotropia has a deviation of 50 or more prism diopters (delta). Generally, surgical alignment of the eyes is the accepted treatment but surgical techniques differ.

Methods: A total of 54 patients were evaluated.
