Abstract
- A 31-years-old female presented with left eyelid, canalicular, and conjunctival lacerations after struck by a glass bottle.She had left hypertropia and limitation of depression.Primary repairs of left eyelid, canalicular, and conjunctival laceration were performed that day.After two weeks, the explorative operation was done because of the inability of depression of left eye. We identified the transection of inferior rectus muscle, and repaired it.Three months after second operation, there were 12 prism diopters of left hyper-tropia, 12 prism diopters of left exotropia in the primary position, and 20 prism diopters of left hypertropia in left down gaze.Double Maddox rod testing revealed 6degrees of left incyclotropia, and she presented head tilt to the left. Four months after second operation, 5 mm recession of left superior rectus muscle was done.Postoperatively, she had nearly orthotropia in primary position, but 10 prism diopters in left downgaze.She had only 2 degrees of left incyclotropia, and showed the improvement of ocular torticollis.
