ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the clinical effect of anterior 1/3 superior oblique tendon tucking in acquired symptomatic excyclotropia adults.Methods:
Retrospective case series. Seven patients (7 eyes) with acquired symptomatic excyclotropia who underwent an anterior 1/3 superior oblique tendon tuck procedure in Tianjin Eye Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 were included. There were 5 male patients and 2 female patients, with an average age of (49±12) years old. All the patients had a history of a closed head injury. There was torsional diplopia in primary position, and eye movement examination showed paralysis of the superior oblique muscle in the affected eye, without obvious hyperactivity of the inferior oblique muscle. The anterior 1/3 tendon of the superior oblique muscle was tucked during surgery according to the relaxation of the superior oblique tendon in the forced duction test. The paired-sample nonparametric rank sum test was used to analyze the preoperative and postoperative (at 1 day after surgery and the last follow-up) excyclotropia angle.Results:
The mean tuck amount was (7.7±1.8) mm (range, 6.0 to 10.0 mm). During operation, patients complained that excyclotropia improved markedly. The excyclotropia angle with the double Maddox rod test improved significantly from preoperative 10° (8°, 15°) to 2° (0°, 3°) at 1 day (Z=-2.379; P<0.05) and 2° (2°, 5°) at the last follow-up (Z=-2.375; P<0.05). The follow-up period was (112+38) days. All patients had no complaints of excyclotropia at the last follow-up.Conclusions:
The anterior 1/3 superior oblique tendon tucking can effectively improve clinical symptoms in the primary position in adults with acquired excyclotropia and diplopia. The short-term postoperative results seem to be stable, without significant regression. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57 685-688).
