Inferior oblique muscle belly transposition and myopexy for diplopia.

To evaluate the outcomes of and review the indications for Inferior oblique muscle belly transposition in adults with diplopia and small-angle hypertropia associated with mild or moderate upshoot in adduction. We retrospectively analyzed data for the six patients who underwent the technique. Surgery was performed by suturing the inferior oblique belly to the sclera at 5 mm posterior to the temporal pole of the inferior rectus.

Surgical treatment for small-angle vertical strabismus.

To assess the indications for and results obtained with partial vertical recti muscle recession in patients with diplopia and small-angle vertical strabismus. Retrospective study of patients who underwent partial temporal or nasal recession of the superior rectus (SR) or inferior rectus (IR). Outcome was considered favorable when diplopia had resolved in primary position and downward gaze at the end of the follow-up.

Adjustable Strabismus Surgery under Topical Anesthesia: Alignment in Supine vs Seated Position.

Purpose: To compare ocular deviation in the operating room depending on whether the patient is in supine decubitus or seated after single-stage adjustable strabismus surgery under topical anesthesia.

Material And Method: We performed a prospective observational study of 30 patients with horizontal and/or vertical strabismus who underwent single stage adjustable strabismus surgery under topical anesthesia. Both distance and near deviation were evaluated before surgery, during surgery in both positions (seated and supine), and at 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery.

Surgical treatment of superior oblique palsy: Predictors of outcome.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and outcome of surgically treated superior oblique palsy (SOP) and the factors involved in its resolution.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 76 patients who underwent surgery for SOP. We recorded data from the physical examination and the number and type of procedures performed.

Orbital magnetic resonance imaging is useful in age-related distance esotropia.

Purpose: To describe findings for orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with age-related distance esotropia (ARDE).

Methods: We compared 31 orbital MRI from patients with ARDE (77±7 SD years) with 2 control groups: 32 orbits from individuals aged 18-50 years (33±8 SD years) and 16 orbits from individuals aged >60 years (77±7 SD years). MRI scans were acquired using 3D fast field echo in T1 sequence without fat saturation.

Minimally Invasive Strabismus Surgery (MISS) Compared with the Fornix Approach in Pediatric Horizontal Strabismus Surgery.

Objective: To compare minimally invasive strabismus surgery (MISS) with the fornix approach in horizontal strabismus operations.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all patients aged ≤ 12 years who underwent symmetrical surgery of the medial or lateral recti over a 1-year period. MISS was performed in one eye, and fornix opening was performed in the contralateral.
