Post-operative return of head malposition in congenital null point nystagmus.

We present two patients with congenital null point nystagmus with head malposition and orthotopic eyes who underwent a modified Kestenbaum-Anderson operation. The face malposition returned in both patients about one year post operatively despite marked reduction of gaze toward the side of the original null point. We do not believe it is the reduced adduction of the fixating eye that eliminates the face turn or prevents its recurrence. Surgical normalization of an abnormal proprioception eliminates the face turn whereas the head malposition return is due to a faulty development of the brain, irreversible and deeply adopted to the abnormal proprioception.

A-pattern esotropia with bilateral inferior oblique muscle overaction.

An eight-year-old boy with residual congenital esotropia, with an A-pattern and overacting inferior obliques is described. Unilateral medial rectus maximal recession and insertion supraplacement, combined with bilateral inferior oblique myectomies resulted in disappearance of the A-pattern. This is the fourth reported case of A-pattern esotropia with overacting inferior obliques. Factors related to horizontal rectus muscle function in up- and down-gazes may explain the pattern seen in this, and similar cases.

Abnormal ocular head postures: Part III.

All patients exhibiting the various types of abnormal head postures of ocular origin that were seen during the last two years are presented in order to determine the relative frequency of the different causes of these postures, and the purposes they serve. The treatment modality and results are also discussed. The manuscript is divided into four parts: Parts I, II, and III concern head postures in incomitant strabismus. In Part IV, head postures in Ciancia's syndrome, restrictions, and refractive errors are described.
