Ocular Motility Disorders

Duane retraction syndrome is the most frequently seen restrictive ocular motility disorders. It is clinically presented with limitation of horizontal movement, variable amounts of upshoots or downshoots and globe retraction combined with narrowing of the palpebral aperture on attempted adduction. An 8-year-old patient presented with severe restriction of abduction, reciprocal upshots or downshoots, and globe retraction combined with the palpebral fissure narrowing of on adduction. After the modified Y splitting of LR and recession of both horizontal rectus operation, all cosmetically disfiguring clinical features disappeared. In this case report modified Y splitting procedure and its long-term efficacy is presented.

Palpebral ptosis is a condition caused by different congenital and acquired pathologies. Seeing difficulty due to the visual field obstruction, prefrontal headaches due to chronic use of the frontalis muscle in an attempt to lift the eyelids and cosmetic deformity are the main complaints of the patients. The surgical correction of the ptosis can be challenging. According to the preoperative evaluation, the most appropriate technique should be used to maximize the postoperator result. We describe a new surgical approach for severe upper eyelids acquired ptosis consisting in reanimation of both eyelids by using the neighboring active muscle. We considered the patient a good candidate for the new surgical approach we introduce as one time operative procedure. The result was a normal palpebral fissure for both eyes. The advantage of this approach consists in performing one time surgery followed by immediate postoperative mobilization of the upper eyelids which determine the recovery of the upper lids motility by further self-control.
