PURPOSE To elucidate the pathophysiology of dissociated horizontal deviation. METHODS The reversed fixation test was performed prospectively in 28 patients who developed consecutive exotropia following horizontal extraocular muscle surgery for infantile esotropia. All patients were assessed for the presence of adduction weakness, latent nystagmus, dissociated vertical divergence, and neurolog...

OBJECTIVE To examine the results of reversed fixation testing in patients who develop consecutive exotropia after surgery for infantile esotropia. METHODS The reversed fixation test was performed prospectively in 28 patients who developed consecutive exotropia after surgery for infantile esotropia. All patients were assessed for adduction weakness, latent nystagmus, dissociated vertical diver...

Purpose. To evaluate the surgical outcomes of unilateral or bilateral medial rectus (MR) muscle resection for recurrent exotropia after bilateral lateral rectus (BLR) muscle recession based on a novel surgical formula. Methods. Forty-one consecutive patients with unilateral or bilateral MR muscle resection for recurrent exotropia after BLR muscle recession were included in this retrospective st...

PURPOSE To investigate the clinical course in patients who underwent surgical correction of consecutive esotropia. METHODS The medical records of 13 patients who underwent surgical correction of consecutive esotropia were reviewed retrospectively. The authors investigated the deviation and surgical method at the time of exotropia surgery. During the follow up period, the authors also studied ...

Purpose: In this study the results of consecutive exotropia surgical treatment by using different surgical technics are presented. Methods: This study included 34 patients, aged 21 to 47 years (mean 27.9), who underwent medial rectus muscle advancement alone or in combination with medial rectus resection and/or lateral rectus recession. The mean interval between original surgery and surgery for...
