The purpose of this study was to examine the inferior oblique muscle (IOM) thickness in Asians by the quasi-sagittal plane of the orbits. Specimens were examined from 23 orbits of 18 Asians (9 orbits in males, 14 in females), aged 63 to 97 years at death. All specimens were fixed in 10% buffered formalin before use. The orbital contents were incised parallel to the optic nerve, after which the ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical features, etiology, prevention, and treatment of the inferior oblique muscle (IO) adherence syndrome. METHODS This series consists of 12 patients treated for a restrictive hypotropia in which the middle portion of the IO was scarred anteriorly, either into or near the inferior rectus muscle (IR) insertion, after prior surgery. RESULTS Among the 12 patients...

Surgery on inferior oblique muscle has a long history and various surgical techniques have been developed. The historical review of the surgery starting in 1840's to date is performed. The surgical effectiveness between simple myectomy and recession is still controversial.

Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) can achieve better reconstruction of the spine via anatomic corridor between psoas muscle and great vessels. Despite OLIF is considered as an effective relatively safer procedure, congenital anomalies main vessels surrounding oblique may pose higher risk vascular damage, which should bear in mind deciding to use procedure. We presented a case anomalous lef...

We report the effects of unilateral recession-resection surgery of the horizontal recti muscles with inferior displacement and augmented anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle with a posterior intermuscular suture in a patient with large exotropia and considerable hypertropia.

Abstract Background To evaluate the effect of modified superior oblique intrasheath tenectomy (MSOIT) on overaction (SOOA) with A-pattern. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data 66 patients (130 eyes) SOOA and A-pattern underwent MSOIT at nasal border rectus under an operating microscope between January 1, 2004 December 31, 2018. The (SO) tendon fibres were resected, sheath was preserved in a...
