The four-step test for diagnosis of paralytic and/or restrictive strabismus.

By placing four diagnostic steps in a logical sequential manner, the diagnosis of a paralytic or restrictive deviation is made somewhat easier. Each time an incomitant strabismus is presented to an ophthalmologist, the four-step procedure should be used. Versions, ductions, and the cover test will reveal the eye to be investigated. Saccades, forced ductions, and/or forced generations will determine the problem and direct a surgical approach if needed.

An unusual case of ophthalmoplegic migraine.

Comparative study of the surgical management of congenital esotropia of 50 prism diopter or less.

Fort-nine patients with congenital esotropia of 50 prism diopters or less were selected at random. Twenty-five had bimedial recessions performed initially followed by bilateral rectus resections when needed. Twenty-four had recession/resections performed initially and when needed, were followed by the same procedure on the fellow eye. The average corrections obtained after first procedure and after second procedure were compared and analyzed. The results showed the initial procedures of both groups to be equally effective. The results obtained after the second procedure in the recession/resection group were significantly better. Therefore, it would appear that for the patient we have described, the most effective surgical approach is ultimately the surgical regimen of recession/resection followed by the same procedure on the fellow eye.

Experimental creeping muscle.

Using healthy rabbits, medial and lateral rectus muscles were recessed. Classical Swann incisions, along with limbal incisions with and without conjunctival recession, were performed. The second variable of reactability of suture material, utilizing absorbable 6-0 chromic and nonabsorbable 6-0 tycron sutures, was tested. Using a 9-0 nylon marking suture for documentation of area of recession, anterior advancement could be accurately measured. Five months after surgery, the animals were sacrificed, and each muscle was examined. Regardless of incision perfored and regardless of suture type used, no anterior advancement of retroplaced muscles occurred.

Mesoectodermal dysgenesis: familial iris anomaly.

A family is described with hypoplasia of the anterior iris stroma, no angle anomalies, and no glaucoma. The pedigree is suggestive of an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. This is compared to the main peripheral malformations of the anterior chamber cleavage syndrome and other disease entities with similar iris changes. The pedigree represents a point on the continuum of mesoectodermal dysgenesis or anterior chamber cleavage syndrome.
