ABSTRACT
Antielevation syndrome is commonly described following anteriorization of the inferior oblique muscle. A similar phenomenon may occur following inferior oblique muscle recession, creating a distinct strabismus pattern in the setting of cranial trochlear nerve palsy. We report 3 adult patients, 69-72 years of age, who presented at the Stanford Byers Eye Institute with a similar strabismus pattern-limited elevation in abduction following previous inferior oblique muscle recession for congenital/long-standing trochlear nerve palsy. All 3 patients had a small hypertropia in primary gaze with ipsilateral inferior oblique overaction, limited elevation in abduction, and inferotemporal conjunctival scars. Two patients had a V-pattern strabismus. Following myectomy of the previously recessed inferior oblique muscle, elevation in abduction improved, and symptoms resolved in all 3 patients.
