Introduction
To evaluate the surgical results of correcting strabismus with inferior oblique hyperfunction.
Material and methods
A retrospective chart review of 40 patients, who underwent surgery from 1999-2001 was performed. 7 patients had isolated inferior oblique hyperfunction, 5 with hypertropia, 23 patients had esotropia with inferior oblique hyperfunction and 5 patients had exotropia with inferior oblique hyperfunction.
Results
The recession of inferior oblique muscle was undergone in cases with inferior oblique hyperfunction, sometimes in hypertropia with anteposito. The recession-resection of rectus muscles with myotomy-tenotomy of inferior oblique muscle or his recession usually were perfomed in cases with coexisting esotropia or exotropia.
Conclusions
In all cases eyes were acceptably aligned. The recession of inferior oblique muscle is the most effective method of operation in high oblique hyperfunction.
