Purpose: This study compares the results of Y-split recession versus de Decker's (modified Cüppers) Faden techniques of medial rectus (MR) muscles for the management of essential infantile esotropia (IET).
Patients And Methods: Fifty patients had IET divided into Group A who underwent Y-split recession of MR muscles and Group B who underwent de Decker's Faden technique of MR muscles. All patients had complete ophthalmic examination done including deviation angle measurement and met the inclusion criteria of the study. Operations were performed using general anesthesia. Patients were followed up at day 1, week 1, and months 1, 3, and 6 after operation.
Results: The mean age distribution for group A was 21.56 months (SD 12.55) and for group B was 21.4 months (SD 12.35), and the mean postoperative follow-up interval was 6 months for both groups. The preoperative maximum angle of deviation in both groups ranged from 15 to 40 degrees, while the minimum angle of deviation ranged from 10 to 20 degrees. Immediately postoperatively both groups showed 88% of patients with satisfactory results (within 10 degrees of orthotropia). Group A showed two patients (8%) with ET and one patient (4%) with exotropia (XT). For group B, it showed one patient (4%) with ET and two patients (8%) with XT. Three patients in each group underwent a second intervention. All patients remained within the satisfactory range.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that both techniques show comparable results for the correction of IET.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of two surgical approaches in the management of exotropic Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) cases with significant overshoot and retraction.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with exotropic DRS who experienced significant overshoot and globe retraction. Patients with incomplete medical records or previous strabismus surgery were excluded.

Article Synopsis
- Exotropic-Duane Syndrome (XT-DRS) is a congenital eye condition resulting in symptoms like exotropia, anomalous head posture, and difficulties with eye movement due to abnormal nerve function.
- The study focuses on two patients who underwent a specialized surgical procedure combining lateral rectus muscle disinsertion and a modification of the Nishida procedure to improve their eye alignment and movement.
- Post-surgery, both patients showed significant improvements, including reduced exotropia and head posture issues, as well as enhanced convergence ability.
Inferior Rectus Muscle Y-Split for Thyroid-Related Vertical Strabismus.

Incomitant hypotropia in thyroid eye disease can be difficult to manage, especially in the presence of orthotropia with fusion in down gaze and reading position. Recessing the affected ipsilateral inferior rectus muscle may result in an undesirable downgaze diplopia secondary to a hypertropia in downgaze. Various surgical techniques have been described to manage this potential complication including asymmetric recession of both inferior rectus muscles, posterior myoscleropexy operation, and the Scott recess/resect procedure of the contralateral inferior rectus.

Duane syndrome is one of the most common restrictive congenital strabismus characterized by variable horizontal duction deficits with globe retraction and shoots on attempted adduction and narrowing of the palpebral aperture. It is now listed as a congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder. The disease is usually unilateral with female preponderance.

Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) is a complex congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder. The choice of surgical procedure in esotropic-DRS depends upon several factors that include: the amount of esotropia in the primary position, the presence and severity of palpebral fissure narrowing, globe retraction, presence of medial rectus muscle (MR) contracture, the likelihood of improving abduction, age of the patient, and the presence of binocularity and stereopsis. In the presence of MR contracture, MR recession is performed either alone (unilaterally or bilaterally) or in conjunction with Y splitting plus recession of the lateral rectus muscle (LR) for reducing globe retraction.
