Superior oblique tendon weakening procedures are used in the management of superior oblique overaction, inferior oblique palsy, and Brown’s syndrome (see Chap. 7 ). Weaking the superior oblique muscle by tenotomy or tenectomy is uncontrolled. The cut tendon ends can separate causing a palsy or even scar back together causing recurrence of the strabismus. In general, patients with binocular fusion such as Brown’s syndrome are better served with a controlled lengthening procedure like the Wright superior oblique tendon expander.

摘要

Superior oblique tendon weakening procedures are used in the management of superior oblique overaction, inferior oblique palsy, and Brown’s syndrome (see Chap. 7 ). Weaking the superior oblique muscle by tenotomy or tenectomy is uncontrolled. The cut tendon ends can separate causing a palsy or even scar back together causing recurrence of the strabismus. In general, patients with binocular fusion such as Brown’s syndrome are better served with a controlled lengthening procedure like the Wright superior oblique tendon expander.
