“…This type of overaction does not spontaneously resolve. Chamberlain 7 recommended asymmetric bilateral surgery for these cases. He showed that after a unilateral weakening surgery for the eye with more overaction, secondary IOOA is unmasked in the fellow eye in 37% of cases.…”

Objectives:To present the outcomes of unilateral inferior oblique myectomy performed in patients with inferior oblique overaction due to superior oblique palsy.Materials and Methods:Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients that underwent inferior oblique myectomy surgery for superior oblique palsy between 2002 and 2008 were included. Inferior oblique overaction scores (between 0-4) at preoperative, early postoperative (within 1 week after surgery) and late postoperative (earliest 6 months) visits were reviewed.Results:There were 12 male and 15 female patients. Eighteen were operated on the right eye, and 9 were operated on the left eye. The mean age was 15.62±13.31 years, and the mean follow-up was 17±11.28 months (range, 6-60 months). Patients who had horizontal component and V-pattern deviation were excluded. Preoperative and early postoperative inferior oblique overaction scores were 2.55±0.75 and 0.14±0.36, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.01). This improvement was maintained up to the late postoperative period.Conclusion:Due to its promising short-term and long-term results, inferior oblique myectomy can be the first choice of surgery for inferior oblique overaction due to superior oblique palsy.

“…Chamberlain 5 advocated performing unequal inferior oblique recession in cases of asymmetric inferior oblique overaction. However, this approach does not always achieve expected results, and residual inferior oblique overaction on one or both sides may occur.…”
