Transposición del vientre del oblicuo inferior sin desinserción en el tratamiento de la hipertropia en aducción / Transposition of the inferior oblique muscle belly without disinsertion for overshoot in adduction treatment

Propósito Analizar la eficacia y la seguridad de la transposición del oblicuo inferior con miopexia en pacientes con hiperfunción primaria o secundaria del oblicuo inferior leve-moderada, con o sin diplopía. Método Estudio observacional retrospectivo de 12 pacientes tratados con dicha técnica entre octubre de 2018 y septiembre de 2021. Se suturó el oblicuo inferior a esclera a 5mm posterior a la inserción temporal del recto inferior. Todos tenían desviación vertical de pequeño ángulo (media ±DE: 4,42±1,62) en posición primaria (≤6 dioptrías prismáticas [dp]), hipertropia en aducción leve-moderada y 10 tenían diplopía. Los diagnósticos fueron: paresia del IVnervio (9), DVD (1) e hipertropia en aducción unilateral (2). De los 12 casos, 7 presentaban tortícolis, 2 torsión subjetiva y 2 torsión objetiva. Resultados La edad media de la muestra fue 46,86±25,1 años (50% hombres). De los 10 casos con diplopía, en 9 se resolvió. La desviación vertical media final en mirada al frente fue: 1,5dp ±2,93 (p=0,001). De 7 casos con hipertropia en aducción leve, en 3 desapareció y 4 quedaron igual. De 5 casos con hipertropia en aducción moderada, 2 mejoraron a leves y en 3 desapareció. El tortícolis se resolvió en 5 casos, y en otros 2 mejoró. El tiempo de seguimiento medio fue de 14,08±8,05 meses. No se registraron hipercorrecciones. Conclusiones La transposición del oblicuo inferior con miopexia es una nueva técnica eficaz y segura en pacientes con leve-moderada hipertropia en aducción e hipertropia de pequeño ángulo, con o sin diplopía (AU)

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of inferior oblique muscle transposition and myopexy in patients with mild/moderate inferior oblique muscle overaction, with or without diplopia. Method We retrospectively analysed data for the 12 patients who underwent the technique. Data were collected from October 2018 to September 2021. Surgery was performed by suturing the inferior oblique belly to the sclera at 5mm posterior to the temporal end of the inferior rectus. All 12 patients had mild hypertropia (≤6 prism diopters [pd]) in primary position and mild/moderate inferior oblique overaction. Mean preoperative hypertropia was 4.42pd ±1.62. Diplopia was recorded in 10 cases. The diagnoses were fourth nerve paresis (9), unilateral primary inferior oblique overaction (2) and dissociated vertical deviation (1). Torticollis was observed in 7 cases, 2 had subjective torsion and 2 objective torsion. Results Mean age was 46.86±25.1 years (50%: men). Diplopia resolved in 9 of the 10 cases. The mean final vertical deviation was 1.5±2.93 (P=.001) pd in straight gaze. Of 7 mild overshoot in adduction, it disappeared in 3 and 4 remained the same. Of 5 moderate overshoot in adduction, 2 improved to mild and 3 disappeared. Torticollis was eliminated in 5 patients and improved in another 2. Mean time from surgery was 14.08±8.05 months. There were no overcorrections Conclusions Inferior oblique muscle transposition with myopexy is a safe and effective procedure in patients with mild-to-moderate inferior oblique muscle overaction and small-angle hypertropia, with or without diplopia (AU)

Transposition of the inferior oblique muscle belly without disinsertion for overshoot in adduction treatment.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of inferior oblique muscle transposition and myopexy in patients with mild/moderate inferior oblique muscle overaction, with or without diplopia. METHOD: We retrospectively analysed data for the 12 patients who underwent the technique. Data were collected from October 2018 to September 2021. Surgery was performed by suturing the inferior oblique belly to the sclera at 5 mm posterior to the temporal end of the inferior rectus. All 12 patients had mild hypertropia (≤6 prism diopters [pd]) in primary position and mild/moderate inferior oblique overaction. Mean preoperative hypertropia was 4.42 pd ±â€¯1.62. Diplopia was recorded in 10 cases. The diagnoses were fourth nerve paresis (9), unilateral primary inferior oblique overaction (2) and dissociated vertical deviation (1). Torticollis was observed in 7 cases, 2 had subjective torsion and 2 objective torsion. RESULTS: Mean age was 46.86 ±â€¯25.1 years (50%: men). Diplopia resolved in 9 of the 10 cases. The mean final vertical deviation was 1.5 ±â€¯2.93 (p = 0.001) pd in straight gaze. Of 7 mild overshoot in adduction, it disappeared in 3 and 4 remained the same. Of 5 moderate overshoot in adduction, 2 improved to mild and 3 disappeared. Torticollis was eliminated in 5 patients and improved in another 2. Mean time from surgery was 14.08 ±â€¯8.05 months. There were no overcorrections. CONCLUSIONS: Inferior oblique muscle transposition with myopexy is a safe and effective procedure in patients with mild-to-moderate inferior oblique muscle overaction and small-angle hypertropia, with or without diplopia.
