INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE This study examines the sensory and motor results in adult patients with large-angle exotropia treated with nonadjustable bilateral recess-resect procedures. METHODS A consecutive series of adult patients undergoing four-muscle surgery for exotropia ≥ 50(Δ) with no previous surgery were identified by retrospective medical record review. All patients had nonadjustable ...

We report a case of silicone oil migration to the lateral rectus muscle discovered during otherwise uncomplicated strabismus surgery in patient with multiple previous vitreoretinal surgical interventions. A 58-year-old female underwent correct long-standing sensory exotropia. This numerous interventions due complex history retinal detachments subsequent repairs, including inserting and removing...

The utility value was compared among 3 surgical interventions, and the validity of the time trade-off (TTO) method was evaluated by analyzing the correlations of the utility value with the results of the Visual Function Questionnaire-14 (VF-14) and other variables. The subjects were 127 patients aged 40-85 years who were surgically treated between January 2008 and March 2010, including 26 patie...

Report a case of a male patient with a macular scar compatible with ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) in right eye (RE) and review the relevant literature on this disease. A patient, who attended for a routine contact lens follow up, presented with amblyopic exotropia without any ocular disease. Best-corrected visual acuity of the affected eye was 20/40 with constant and mono-fixation exotropia. Ophtha...

The authors present an unorthodox surgical approach to reach the posterior segment of the lateral rectus muscle through a lateral orbitotomy and to manage difficult cases of recurrent exotropia. A review of the records of two patients with recurrent exotropia was done. After an anterior approach had been demonstrated to be inadequate due to shortening or fibrosis of the anterior part of this mu...

purpose: to investigate demographic, clinical and histopathologic features of consecutive exotropia. methods: patients with consecutive exotropia who underwent surgery in farabi hospital between september 2014 and april 2015 were enrolled in this study. after complete ophthalmologic examination and far and near deviation measurement, all patients with negative forced duction test underwent 4-mm...

purpose : to evaluate outcome of surgically slanting extraocular muscle insertions in a and v-pattern strabismus methods : in this prospective non-randomized interventional case series, we created a slanting surgical reinsertion line with a 3- 4 mm difference between upper and lower corners of the muscles in 16 patients with a or v strabismus (v-exotropia in 10 patients, a-exotropia in 1 patien...
