The authors report a case of 21-year-old man with divergent noncomitant strabismus, "V" pattern anisotropy, right inferior oblique muscle overaction and right superior oblique muscle hypofunction, which was performed under topical anesthesia an asymmetrical recession of the horizontal rectus muscles fibers to correct alphabetical incomitance. The immediate surgical outcome was considered very good (orthotropic, no "V" or "A" pattern), since the success was not obtained through conventional surgical technique.

We report a case of an infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) with abnormal head posture (AHP) of head tilt and face turn treated with the modified Kestenbaum procedure and vertical transposition of the horizontal rectus muscles. A 23-year-old male patient with a history of eye shaking since early infancy presented to our hospital for correction of AHP. He had right-beating jerk nystagmus in both eyes, 15° right head tilt, and 25° right face turn.

Acquired double depressor palsy following bilateral medial thalamus and left midbrain infarction.

We present the case of a 57-year-old man with vertical diplopia who was diagnosed with acquired left eye supranuclear double depressor palsy after ischemic stroke, with small infarcts at the bilateral medial posterior thalami, left midbrain, and left occipital lobe. Given the different innervation of the two depressors, intact vestibulo-ocular reflex, and the healthy inferior rectus muscle morphology observed intraoperatively, the lesion likely involved the supranuclear vertical gaze center or its pathway. His strabismus was treated successfully with recession and resection of vertical rectus muscles, resulting in no significant deviation in either the vertical or horizontal directions in primary gaze at 6 months' follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- Interdental papilla loss due to periodontal disease introduces issues with speaking, function, and appearance, making it a common problem for patients.
- A new surgical method, utilizing the Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) wall technique, has been introduced to improve the volume of interdental papillae, particularly in areas with clinical attachment loss.
- A case study of a 35-year-old woman showed that this technique resulted in significant improvements in papilla aesthetics and complete root coverage after 6 and 12 months, highlighting the potential of this modified approach for treating gingival recessions.
