Simultaneous Superior Rectus Recession and Anterior Transposition of Inferior Oblique Muscle as a Surgical Option for Traumatically Lost Inferior Rectus Muscle

Strabismus

Abstract

To evaluate the role of simultaneous superior rectus (SR) recession and anterior transposition of inferior oblique (ATIO) muscle in patients with traumatically lost inferior rectus (IR) muscle. Six patients with history of ocular trauma, followed by sudden onset vertical diplopia along with marked hypertropia (HT) and limitation of depression in abduction in the affected eye suggestive of IR disinsertion, were included in this prospective study. The patients were treated by simultaneous SR recession and ATIO muscle in the affected eye by limbal conjunctival approach under local anesthesia. Preoperatively, primary position HT of 40-50 (mean 44.16 ± 4.91) prism diopters (PD) was present in all cases which increased to 65-70 (mean 65.83 ± 5.84) PD in down and in the ipsilateral gaze along with marked limitation of depression in abduction and A pattern. On exploration, the IR could not be traced in four cases. Fibrotic muscle sheath with retracted IR was found 10-12 mm away from the limbus in rest of the two patients. ATIO (6.5 mm from the limbus) with simultaneous recession of ipsilateral SR was done under local anesthesia. At 12 weeks postoperatively, three patients were orthophoric in primary position and vertical alignment with...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
