Background: Inferior rectus (IR) underaction may arise from various causes that are distinguishable through imaging. We investigated clinical and imaging characteristics of congenital and acquired causes of IR underaction.

Methods: Cases of IR underaction were selected from data prospectively collected in a study of orbital imaging in strabismic patients.

The Globe's Eccentric Rotational Axis: Why Medial Rectus Surgery Is More Potent than Lateral Rectus Surgery.

Purpose: Tables typically recommend greater lateral rectus (LR) than medial rectus (MR) surgical doses for horizontal strabismus of any given magnitude, a difference unexplained by mechanical models that assume globe rotation about its center. We tested this assumption during horizontal ductions.

Design: Prospective observational study.

The oculomotor periphery was formerly regarded as a simple mechanism executing complex behaviors explicitly specified by innervation. It is now recognized that several fundamental aspects of ocular motility are properties of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) and their associated connective tissue pulleys. The Active Pulley Hypothesis proposes that rectus and inferior oblique EOMs have connective tissue soft pulleys that are actively controlled by the action of the EOMs' orbital layers.

Purpose: To use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure the diameter along the course of the intraorbital optic nerve in living subjects and cadaveric specimens, and to validate measurements histologically in the same specimens.

Methods: Measurements of the intraorbital optic nerve were made in 23 living human subjects and in three formalin-fixed orbits using high-resolution, surface coil MRI in the coronal plane. Fixed orbits were then serially sectioned in the same plane, and stained by Masson's trichrome for digital morphometry of nerve diameter and densitometry of connective tissue constituents.
