Pseudo V-esotropia may be seen in accommodative esotropias with uncorrected hyperopic refractive error. It has been observed in glaucoma patients with an acquired strabismus (see strabismus following glaucoma surgery), due to tunnel vision and forced use of the fovea. Additionally, the fourth cranial nerve exits dorsally, crosses the midline, and innervates the contralateral SOM. Curr Opin Ophthalmol, 22: 432-440. The superior oblique and superior rectus muscles are intortors and the inferior oblique and inferior rectus muscle are extorters. Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. The superior rectus and inferior oblique muscles elevate the eye and the inferior rectus and superior oblique muscles depress the eye. due to a paresis of another vertical muscle, it may give rise to a V pattern, with additional convergence in downgaze. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus, 1987; 24:10-7.. Poor movement of the superior oblique tendon through the trochlea leads to limited elevation of the eye in adduction, frequently with an associated exotropia in upgaze. There is a small left hypertropia in primary position that increases in left gaze and with head tilt to the left, the 3-step pattern consistent with this diagnosis. a #240 retinal silicone band), a non-absorbable "Chicken suture", or a superior oblique split tendon lengthening procedure, Iatrogenic Brown syndrome secondary to muscle plication may require reversal of the plication, In case the primary cause is a tendon cyst, removal of the cyst may be indicated. Vertical Strabismus. Taylor & Hoyt's Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, by Scott R. Lambert and Christopher J. Lyons, Elsevier, 2017, pp. Brown syndrome due to inflammatory disease with associated pain may transiently benefit from injection of steroids to the trochlear area. In the case of a coexisting DVD, particular care has to be taken since SO weakening procedures may worsen this entity. In fourth nerve palsy the Double Maddox rod should demonstrate unilateral excyclotorsion. J. Berke RN. What is Brown Syndrome? - News-Medical.net Leads to an elevation deficit in adduction and greater vertical deviation with tilt to the contralateral side. Patients may report vertical and/or torsional diplopia that is usually worse on downgaze and gaze away from the affected side. Yoo E-J, Kim S-H. We present the work-up and treatment for 25 patients with inferior oblique palsy, including 2 with bilateral inferior oblique palsy and 23 with unilateral inferior oblique palsy.
