Abstract
PURPOSE: To design a surgical procedure for correcting globe dislocation in strabismus in high myopia (highly myopic strabismus). DESIGN: Prospective, interventional case series. METHODS: We examined 36 eyes of 21 patients with highly myopic strabismus and 27 eyes of 27 healthy volunteers as controls at Osaka City General Hospital between 2000 and 2006. Anatomic relationships between the muscle cone and globe were analyzed using magnetic resonance imaging. Ranges of globe movement and angles of ocular deviation were measured quantitatively as angles of maximum abduction and sursumduction and angles of ocular deviation, respectively, using the Goldmann perimeter and alternate prism cover tests. A surgical procedure involving muscle union of the superior rectus and lateral rectus muscles was performed in 23 eyes of 14 patients to restore the dislocated globe back to the muscle cone. RESULTS: After surgery, the angle of dislocation of the globe, defined as the angle formed by a line connecting the area centroid of the superior rectus muscle and the globe and a line connecting area centroid of the lateral rectus muscle and globe against the supertemporal wall of the orbit, was significantly decreased (P < .001), and angles of maximum abduction and sursumduction and the angle of ocular deviation improved significantly (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: This surgical procedure to restore the dislocated globe back into the muscle cone by uniting muscle bellies of the superior rectus and lateral rectus muscles is effective for highly myopic strabismus.
