Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of inferior oblique recession with contralateral partial temporal inferior rectus recession in patients with decompensated congenital unilateral superior oblique palsy (SOP) in correcting moderate vertical deviations in primary position. Methods: The medical records of patients with SOP who underwent inferior oblique recession with contralateral partial temporal inferior rectus recession were reviewed retrospectively. Vertical deviation in primary position, subjective torsion, diplopia, residual deviation, and the deviation decrease were evaluated. Results: Four patients (three males and one female, age range 29–56 years) with congenital unilateral SOP and mean vertical deviation of 21.0 ± 5.3PD (range 14–25D) in primary position were included. Mean correction of hypertropia in primary position with this technique was 15.5 ± 5.3PD (range 10–20PD). The mean hypertropia on gaze to the contralateral side changed from 30.0 ± 10.8D before surgery to 9.3 ± 7.9D after surgery. Torsion had a mean change of 4.8° of incyclodeviation. Preoperatively, all patients had head tilt and diplopia, which was resolved in all but one patient, who will need surgery. Patients were followed an average of 18 months. No adverse events were reported in any subjects. Conclusion: When performing recession of inferior oblique muscles in SOP associated to a full recession of the contralateral inferior rectus, there is a risk of overcorrection in those with moderate angles. Performing a partial recession in the contralateral inferior rectus eye corrected up to 20PD in primary position in our series, reducing this risk.

Optic neuropathy can occur secondary to nutritional deficiencies in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. We present a unique case of a 39-year-old man, claiming to be generally healthy, who presented with intermittent vertical diplopia and bilateral decreased vision in each eye. Visual acuity was 6/18 in the right eye and 6/12 in the left eye. Ishihara testing was defective for both eyes. Automated visual fields showed a severe generalized reduction in sensitivity in both eyes. The patient had a left head tilt and a right intermittent hypertropia of 30 prism diopters in primary position. CT of the orbits revealed a right superior oblique of small caliber. On further questioning, the patient admitted to a history of bariatric surgery 7 years prior to presentation with failure to take any nutritional supplements. Blood work demonstrated deficiencies in folate, thiamine, and copper. Within 6 months of initiating nutritional supplements, the vision in each eye was markedly improved and the diplopia resolved. There was an associated normalization of thiamine and copper, but folate levels remained low. We believe that the nutritional deficiency caused a bilateral optic neuropathy and the resulting vision loss precipitated a manifestation of a congenital superior oblique palsy that had previously just been a phoria. The case emphasizes the importance of considering occult sensory etiologies of acquired strabismus.

Digital marking systems have been shown to be more accurate at positioning toric intraocular lenses and hence providing better visual outcomes. Patients with cyclodeviation and concomitant astigmatism undergoing toric intraocular lens placement present an extra challenge. We present a case of a patient with high astigmatism and a preexisting superior oblique palsy where using the Verion™ digital marking system proved to be an extremely valuable tool. We suggest that using this technology is especially helpful in patients with preexisting cyclodeviation and compensatory head tilt.
