Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and management of patients with an anteriorly and nasally inserted superior oblique tendon.
Design: Retrospective interventional case series.
Methods: Institutional clinical records between 2020 and 2024 were retrospectively reviewed for 9 consecutive patients in whom the superior oblique (SO) tendon was inserted anterior to the equator and nasal to the superior rectus muscle.
A 67-year-old woman presented with a left hypotropia and eye pain after a traumatic fall. She had multiple left orbital wall fractures and an acquired limitation to elevation in all gazes, worse in adduction, suggestive of Brown syndrome. During strabismus surgery, a white nodule on the superior oblique tendon was identified and excised.

Methods: The medical records of all children ≤48 months of age who failed GoCheck Kids photoscreening at a University of California, San Francisco, pediatric clinic between February 2017 and August 2018 and subsequently examined at the pediatric ophthalmology clinic were reviewed retrospectively. The PPV of GoCheck Kids was determined, where a true positive represents an abnormal cycloplegic refractive error according to the 2013 American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Vision Screening Committee criteria.

September 2019
Background: We describe successful surgical treatment of superior oblique myokymia, which had recurred after superior oblique tenectomy.
Methods: Single case report.
Results: The distal stump of the superior oblique tendon was extirpated by stripping it from the globe.
