PONS CASTRO, Lucy; CHANG SANCHEZ, Yahyma e ESTEVEZ MIRANDA, Yaimir. Surgical correction of strabismus in upper oblique paresia. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.2, pp. 1-6. ISSN 1561-3070.
The acquired paresia of the upper oblique can be unilateral or bilateral, caused by closed cranial traumas, tumors, microvascular illnesses, as malformations, infections, inflammations or direct lesions on the muscle or the trochlea and aneurismas. Here is the case of a 66 years-old male patient with diagnosis of acquired paresia of the upper oblique in his left eye, with no precise etiology. It is characterized by binocular vertical diplopia, torticollis, hypertrophy and positive Bielschowsky on the side of paresia. After this, it was decided to perform recession of the upper rectus of the right eye, which was the paretic eye, and also Faden procedure to treat contralateral lower rectus. With this surgical technique, the vertical diplopia disappeared and symmetry was achieved in infraversion.
