Trochlear palsies caused by isolated trochlear schwannomas.
2010
To describe clinical features and management of 4 patients suffering from unilateral superior oblique palsies due to MRI-documented trochlear nerve schwannomas.Chart reviews of 4 patients seen at the departments of ophthalmogy and neurology at the University of Mainz.All four patients were male, aged 36 to 72 years at initial presentation. None suffered from neurofibromatosis. The history of double vision prior presentation was 9 months to 13 years, follow-up time was 9 to 156 months. Two patients didn't receive any intervention: one remained stable over the follow-up time of 9 months. In patient #2, fourth nerve palsy was diagnosed 13 years prior to confirmation of a trochlear schwannoma b…
Is there a relationship between the degree of preoperative motility impairment or the muscle thickness and the outcome of strabismus surgery in patie…
2005
There is considerable controversy regarding the performance of strabismus surgery in patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO). The spectrum of recommendations extends from variable dose-effect correlations for these procedures (Esser, 1994; Mourits et al., 1990; Nguyen et al., 2002) to individualized approaches such as passive intraoperative motility testing and postoperative adjustment of sutures (Lueder et al., 1992; Nguyen et al., 2002), and to local anesthesia for intraoperative assessment of active motility (Kalpadakis et al., 2004). Furthermore, prior decompression surgery is known to contribute to an unpredictable outcome (Eckstein and Esser, 2003; Esser, 1994). We retrospectively anal…
Ocular ductions after rectus muscle recession and resection in thyroid eye disease.
2019
Background: Recession and resection of rectus muscles for correction of strabismus in Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is relatively unpopular as it is assumed to enhance the restriction of ocular ductions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare ductions of recession only and recess/resect procedures. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 119 patients who underwent strabismus surgery for TED from 1991 to 2015, of which 102 were included in the present study. Forty-six interventions were performed on horizontal, 56 on vertical rectus muscles; comprising 41 recess/resect surgeries for horizontal deviations, and 7 in patients with vertical strabismus. Ocular ductions and ali…
