Elucidation of Restrictive Motility in High Myopia by Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Surgical treatment of myopic strabismus fixus: a graded approach

“…The success of this procedure might be explained generally in relation to conventional strabismus surgery for esotropia, where normal-size MR recessions alone or recession-resection surgery have frequently been shown to be adequate. This holds true since myopic strabismus is regarded as a progressive disease with its earlier stage not yet necessarily accompanied by any muscle path displacement [11]. Similar results have been reported by others; Krzizok et al have shown conventional recession-surgery to be satisfactory in 20 patients [17].…”

Knobby Eye Syndrome

“…Even when myopic patients do not exhibit the extreme findings of the HES, 8,11,35–37 the present study suggests that myopic changes may contribute to strabismus. Concepts of strabismus in axial high myopes should be expanded to include nonlinear changes in EOM tension produced by irregular posterior staphylomata; imaging may be clinically informative about the knobby eye syndrome.…”

Effects of oblique muscle surgery on the rectus muscle pulley

“…Myopic morphological globe changes might also be considered as a cause of pulley displacement (Fig. 2b) [13,35,36]. As previously reported, pulley displacement was observed for one patient postoperatively compared with that of the fellow orbit, despite a normal axial length (22.33 mm) [24].…”
