Temporal Slant Recession of the Inferior Rectus Muscle: A Simple Surgical Treatment for Diplopia Caused by Small Vertical Deviations.
Journal of Neuro-ophthalmology : the Official Journal of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society 2022 August 3
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of temporal slant recession of the inferior rectus muscle (TSRIRM) for the treatment of small vertical deviations in patients with vertical diplopia, with consideration of the theoretical additive effects of this procedure on ocular torsion and horizontal incomitance.
METHODS: Retrospective review of 11 patients who were treated with TSRIRM. Eight patients with vertical diplopia and small hyperdeviations (up to 6 prism diopters (PDs)) were treated with isolated TSRIRMs. Three patients with vertical diplopia from unilateral superior oblique palsies with large hyperdeviations (>15 PDs) were treated with TSRIRMs in conjunction with contralateral inferior oblique recessions.
RESULTS: Six of the 8 patients with small vertical deviations had successful vertical realignment with elimination of symptomatic diplopia after an isolated TSRIRM. Two of the eight patients had residual hypertropia with symptomatic diplopia. Three additional patients with unilateral superior oblique palsy had successful vertical realignment with elimination of symptomatic diplopia after ipsilateral inferior oblique recession and contralateral TSRIRM. In total, 9 of 11 patients had successful surgical results after TSRIRM.
CONCLUSIONS: TSRIRM provides an effective and reliable treatment for small angle vertical strabismus. Its ease of surgical access renders it useful for implementation in an outpatient neuro-ophthalmology setting.
