This is a typical case of antimongoloid fissure esotropic
infant , those
infants usually present with :
1.
Infantile esotropia
2.
V pattern strabismus , usually XT in up gaze
3.
Inferior Oblique overaction manifests as vertical
incmoitance in up & in gazes
These features must be put in mind when surgically
correcting the esotropia . All these could be corrected simply by adding downshifting the
recessed 2 MR and /or by doing
bilateral IO myectomy
It
is obvious that this was not done here , the esotropia is really
perfectly corrected , still the parents of these infants always
complain about the residual vertical incomitance on looking up and
on looking up & in caused by the overaction of the Inferior
oblique muscles
The
Decision :
In
a case like this I don't prefer to do detachment of the 2 MR
& reattach them down since this may occasionally affect the
perfect horizontal alignment
I
prefer to do bilateral IO myectomy since this will not
affect neither the horizontal nor the vertical alignment in
the primary position , but it will sure correct the vertical
incomitance on looking in & up gazes , it will also correct
the up exotropia.
