Brown syndrome is a rare form of strabismus that is characterised by restriction of elevation of the eye in adduction. This is a case report of an eleven year old Nigerian girl who presented with a history of squint and poor vision. She had visual acuities of 6/24 and counting fingers in her right and left eyes respectively. There was a left hypotropia in the primary position of gaze with assoc...

background: inferior rectus recession, knapp procedure, partial tendon transposition, and combined procedure are different surgical procedures in the management of monocular elevation deficiency (med). only a few studies have been published on the management of this problem. in this study, we report our experience with patients with med focusing on the indications and types of surgery in the so...

Early diagnosis and management of strabismus is needed to avoid complications such as amblyopia. In this retrospective cohort study we reviewed the profile and surgical outcome of vertical strabismus patients attending a clinic in Yazd city in the Islamic Republic of Iran. From the medical files of 265 patients, 19.2% were found to have pure vertical deviation and 80.8% had combined horizontal ...

BACKGROUND Cyclic strabismus is a very rare condition of ocular motility characterized by alternating strabismus and orthotropia. We report a patient with a 48-h cycle of vertical deviation associated with dysthyroid ophthalmopathy that spontaneously resolved. CASE PRESENTATION A 40-year-old woman experienced sudden onset vertical double vision. She had already been diagnosed with hyperthyroi...

PURPOSE To report the clinical features of a rare case of hypotropic dissociated vertical deviation (DVD). CASE REPORT A 25-year-old female was referred with unilateral esotropia, hypotropia and slow variable downward drift in her left eye. She had history of esotropia since she had been 3-4 months of age. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in her right eye and 20/40 in the left one when ...

PURPOSE We report a case of inferior rectus muscle aplasia in a 65-year-old woman. METHODS Images were obtained using ocular motility photography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and operative findings were analyzed. RESULTS A 65-year-old woman presented with marked right hypertropia. The right eye also had microcornea, iris coloboma, and completely restricted downward movement. MRI sh...

On ophthalmologic examination, head-posturing was evident, chin up and a face turn to the left side when asked to look at a symbol of the LEA Vision Chart Test (Figure 1). In the primary position, a minimal right hypotropia was present, and during ocular motricity examination, a limited elevation in adduction of the right eye was present (Figure 2) . An audible but painless superior nasal click...

Although all manifest skew deviations appear the same for the clinician, skew deviation can result from different combinations of dysconjugate vertical ocular deviations. Evidence is presented for three different types of skew deviation when it occurs as a feature of an ocular tilt reaction. In type 1 (utricle) there is upward deviation of both eyes with different amplitudes, as described for o...

We evaluated the one-stage intraoperative adjustment strabismus surgery with adjustable suture under topical anesthesia. Medical records of the patients who had intraoperative adjustment surgery under topical anesthesia for horizontal or vertical strabismus in our hospital from March 1997 to March 2003 with follow-up of 6 months were analyzed retrospectively. Of the 71 patients, 48 patients had...

Associations between strabismus and refractive errors have been reported inprevious studies. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence andassociation with in school aged children between10?16 years. A total sample size of2600 subjects employed for study.Routine eye examinations were carried out on subjects. Unilateral cover test wasused detect presence while alternate used forme...
