Article Abstract
Objective: To understand the clinical significance of subjective and objective examination of cyclodeviations and investigate the effect of weakening inferior oblique muscles on the status of ocular torsion.
Methods: Twenty patients (40 eyes) with overacting inferior oblique muscles underwent bilateral myotomy or partial myectomy of inferior oblique muscles. Subjective cyclodeviations were measured before surgery as well as one week, two months after surgery by double maddox rod test (DMRT). Objective cyclodeviations were assessed by fundus photography before and 7 days after surgery in 15 cases. The photograph was transferred to a computer, and the fovea-disc angle was measured by means of drawing picture software.
Results: Nine patients with primary overaction of inferior oblique muscles were negative with DMRT before surgery, and only one case revealed incyclotropia 5.0 degrees tested two months after surgery. Four out of 11 patients with secondary overaction of inferior oblique muscles showed excyclotropia 2.5 degrees - 5.0 degrees with DMRT before surgery, and all patients indicated no subjective cyclotropia with DMRT two months after surgery. Fundus photography determination of the right eye revealed extorsion 16.83 degrees +/- 6.39 degrees, the left eye 14.92 degrees +/- 4.51 degrees before surgery. The reduction of the cyclodeviations by weakening inferior oblique muscle for the right and left eye was 13.07 degrees +/- 3.38 degrees and 10.54 degrees +/- 3.75 degrees respectively. The comparison of objective ocular torsion for both eyes showed high significant differences (P < 0.01) pre- and post-operatively.
Conclusions: The results of subjective and objective examination of cyclodeviations in patients with primary or secondary overacting inferior oblique muscle early after birth were not consistent. Weakening inferior oblique muscle could correct excyclodeviation. There exist complicated compensatory mechanisms for subjective change of ocular torsion after surgery. The changes of subjective and objective cyclodeviations are still inconsistent.

Purpose: To objectively quantify, in East Asians and Caucasians, the width and distribution of the retro-orbicularis oculi and frontalis fat (ROOF) pad, subcutaneous fat, and orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM) at the superior orbital rim margin as well as 5 mm superior and inferior to this point.
Methods: Thirty adults were studied by high-resolution, surface coil MRI. In the quasi-sagittal image through the globe center, the ROOF, subcutaneous fat, and OOM thickness were measured anterior to the orbital septum, at 3 points: at the superior orbital rim, and 5 mm superior, and 5 mm inferior to the rim.
Oblique lumbar interbody fusion-address to an anatomical challenge: a case report.

Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) is a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine, and the left operative window is always used to avoid the inferior vena cava (IVC). However, in cases with anatomical variations-particularly vascular anomalies, which most significantly impact surgical approaches-the right retroperitoneal approach may serve as a preferable alternative. This case report describes a 59-year-old man with lumbar instability and a rare left-sided IVC who underwent OLIF via a right approach.

Myopic strabismus fixus (MSF) is an acquired, progressive form of strabismus associated with high myopia. It is typically characterised by an esotropia-hypotropia or exotropia-hypotropia complex. We present a sporadic case of a middle-aged adult male with high myopia, who exhibited an esotropia-hypertropia complex in both eyes.

Purpose: Simulations suggest that displacement of rectus extraocular muscle pulleys in superior oblique (SO) palsy accounts for incomitant strabismus patterns even without postulating SO contractile weakness. We asked how rectus extraocular muscle pulleys reorient during head tilt in SO palsy.
Methods: In 13 subjects with unilateral SO palsy, supine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 2-mm-thick quasi-coronal planes in target-controlled central gaze was repeated in both lateral decubitus positions equivalent to 90° head tilts.
