conclusions the study findings indicate that short-term exercises had no significant effect on the ratio of vmo to vl muscle fiber angles in patients with pfps. results there were no significant differences in the muscle strength and fiber angle of the vmo, vl oblique and longus muscles after training between the control and experimental groups (p > 0.05). patients and methods thirty-five subje...

PURPOSES To objectively evaluate the torsional effect of the superior oblique muscle-weakening surgery using the tenectomy technique proposed by Souza-Dias. METHODS The present prospective study included 10 patients (20 eyes) with horizontal strabismus, bilateral superior oblique overaction and A-pattern of 15 to 30 prism diopters who underwent superior oblique tenectomy. Objective assessment...

The superior oblique tendon sheath syndrome was first described by Brown (I950), who noted that many cases of apparent congenital paresis of the inferior oblique muscle had restricted elevation in adduction on passive duction testing. At operation he observed thickening of the anterior part of the superior oblique tendon sheath, and whern this was stripped away a full range of passive movements...

Ocular cysticercosis refers to parasitic infections in humans. Most cases were treated by medicine. The case we reviewed was rarely reported with successful surgical intervention treatment.This case report describes a patient with cysticercosis existing in superior oblique tendon. The main symptom of the patient was recurring history of painless orbital swelling and double vision in upgaze. Ocu...

A 37-year-old man with episodic oscillopsia for 3 months showed intermittent torsional-vertical oscillation of the left eye (video on the Neurology® Web site at www.neurology.org). MRI revealed an attachment between left trochlear nerve and left superior cerebellar artery in the quadrigeminal cistern (figure). Gabapentin 600 mg twice a day ameliorated the ocular oscillation and oscillopsia. Sup...
