Torsional diplopia in Graves' orbitopathy. Three case reports.

Published: September 2003

Torsional diplopia may frequently accompany Graves' orbitopathy and is often not recognized. Some patients with manifest cyclotorsion do not complain of torsional diplopia because it is concealed by the large vertical and/or horizontal deviation. Torsional diplopia can occur spontaneously or appear after decompression or strabismus surgery. We discuss some interesting points arising from three cases. This will be followed by a discussion of the literature on the pathogenesis of cyclodeviation in Graves' orbitopathy.

Purpose: Our study presents a virtual reality-based tangent screen test (VTS) to measure subjective ocular deviations including torsion in nine directions of gaze. The test was compared to the analogous Harms tangent screen test (HTS).

Methods: We used an Oculus Go controller and head-mounted-display with rotation sensors to measure patient's head orientation for the VTS.

Purpose: To report the long-term outcomes of bilateral symmetrical superior oblique (SO) nasal tenotomy in patients with large A-pattern exotropia (≥25 prism diopter [PD]).

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 15 patients (aged: 4-28 years) of large A-pattern exotropia. An A-pattern was defined as >10 PD difference between up and down gaze at 6 m by use of the alternate prism cover test.

Purpose: To report a novel surgical technique to correct excyclotropia, consisting of a superior oblique anterior fibers plication (SOAFP) with or without a hemihangback anterior knot, allowing access for postoperative adjustment.

Methods: A retrospective interventional case series was conducted. Fourteen patients, 21-92 years of age, underwent SOAFP (18 eyes, 14 eyes on adjustable), at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Wearable apparatus for correction of visual alignment under torsional strabismus.

Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing, University of Surrey, United Kingdom.

Significance: A wearable optical apparatus that compensates for eye misalignment (strabismus) to correct for double vision (diplopia) is proposed. In contrast to prism lenses, commonly used to compensate for horizontal and/or vertical misalignment, the proposed approach is able to compensate for any combination of horizontal, vertical, and torsional misalignment.

Purpose: If the action of the extraocular muscles is compromised (e.
