The role of rectus muscle myectomy in the management of large-angle strabismus for Graves’ ophthalmopathy

Abstract: PurposeRetrospective noncomparative case series to investigate the role of rectus muscle myectomy for the treatment of large-angle strabismus in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy.Patients and methodsData from 47 consecutive patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy who underwent complete myectomy for large-angle strabismus (strabismus greater than 25 prism diopters (PDs)) were collected retrospectively. Pre- and postoperative deviations in primary and reading position were measured in PDs. Postoperative deviatio… Show more

“…These findings are consistent with our results. We postulated that the MR had limited orbital space to access compared with other recti muscles, hence requiring more force to expose the muscle and more vulnerable to a significant elevation of the IOP during the procedure [ 13 ]. Surgeons should be aware of the possibility of IOP elevation during strabismus surgery in patients with TED, especially during MR recession.…”

“…17 Liao et al achieved an overall success rate of 91.5% with rectus muscle disinsertion in patients with large-angle strabismus related to thyroid eye disease. 18 LR disinsertion with or without periosteal fixation has been performed to manage Duane retraction syndrome, third cranial nerve palsy, and large-angle exotropia. 19,20 MR disinsertion has been described as a surgical approach in patients with convergence strabismus fixus related to high myopia or bilateral sixth nerve palsy.…”
