We present the unusual case of a 74 year-old female with a history of breast cancer who presented with acute painless orbital swelling and vertical diplopia. MRI revealed a focal enhancing mass within the superior rectus muscle. As the concern for metastatic disease was high, surgical biopsy was performed and revealed an unusual mimicker of metastatic disease, the parasitic infection dirofilariasis.

To our knowledge, there are no reports ofAeromonas hydrophilainfection after a scleral buckling procedure. Also, migration of a silicone explant element through the rectus muscles is extremely rare. Herein, we describe a case experiencing extrusion of a solid silicone tire migrating through the superior rectus muscle withAeromonas hydrophilainfection following a scleral buckling procedure. A 42-year-old man was referred to our hospital complaining of ocular pain and purulent discharge in his left eye which has persisted for several months. He had a history of bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment which had been treated with scleral buckling. The left eye showed extrusion of the solid silicone buckle which had migrated through the superior rectus muscle and an infection in the upper quadrant of the sclera. The buckle was removed, and the patient was treated with antibiotics. After the removal of the buckle, the symptoms showed rapid amelioration and there was no recurrence of retinal detachment.Aeromonas hydrophilawas isolated from the discharge and the removed explant. He used well water in daily life. In this case, theAeromonas hydrophilainfection of the extruded buckle might have originated from contaminated well water.

Human cysticercosis is caused by the larval form of the swine tapeworm Taenia solium.It can affect the central nervous system, the eye, skeletal muscles and subcutaneous tissues. In the orbit, cysticercosis can lodge into any extraocular muscle or other adnexal structures and are usually found as part of a generalized systemic infestation and very rarely seen with isolated infestation of a single extraocular muscle.Hence, sometimes as it was in our case,it is very difficult to differentiate an isolated extraocular muscle cysticercosis from extraocular muscle abscess or lymphoma. So,we, at our institute report a rare and unusual case of isolated right superior rectus muscle cysticercosis which presented with ptosis and painless swelling of the right upper eyelid, which was in fact discovered later masquerading as a superior rectus abscess.

Abstract Background Superior rectus muscle transposition (SRT) is one of the proposed transposition techniques in the management of defective ocular abduction secondary to chronic sixth nerve palsy and esotropic Duane retraction syndrome (Eso-DRS). The aim of the current study is to report the outcomes of augmented SRT in treatment of Eso-DRS and chronic sixth nerve palsy. Methods a retrospective review of medical records of patients with Eso-DRS and complete chronic sixth nerve palsy who were treated by augmented full tendon SRT combined with medial rectus recession (MRc) when intraoperative forced duction test yielded a significant contracture. Effect on primary position esotropia (ET), abnormal head posture (AHP), limitation of ocular ductions as well as complications were reported and analyzed. Results a total of 21 patients were identified: 10 patients with 6th nerve palsy and 11 patients with Eso-DRS. In both groups, SRT was combined with ipsilateral MRc in 18 cases. ET, AHP and limited abduction were improved by means of 33.8PD, 26.5°, and 2.6 units in 6th nerve palsy group and by 31.1PD, 28.6°, and 2 units in Eso-DRS group respectively. Surgical success which was defined as within 10 PD of horizontal orthotropia and within 4 PD of vertical orthotropia was achieved in 15 cases (71.4%). Significant induced hypertropia of more than 4 PD was reported in 3 patients (30%) and in 2 patients (18%) in both groups, respectively. Conclusion augmented SRT with or without MRc is an effective tool for management of ET, AHP and limited abduction secondary to sixth nerve palsy and Eso-DRS. However, this form of augmented superior rectus muscle transposition could result in high rates of induced vertical deviation.

The author particularly recommends, as an improvement of this operation, the use of a suture-carrier on the superior rectus muscle. This protects against various complications and especially against vitreous body prolapse, reducing intraocular pressure and immobilizing the eye better than other methods of fixation.

The superior rectus muscles of marlin, swordfish, sailfish, and spearfish are modified for generating heat rather than force. This study focuses on the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium-adenosinetriphosphatase (SR Ca(2+)-ATPase) to gain further insight into the muscle fiber type origin of the billfish “heater cell.” Direct sequencing and immunolocalization demonstrated that marlin and swordfish epaxial swimming muscles express two forms of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase in a fiber type-specific manner; red slow-twitch skeletal and cardiac muscles express the same SERCA2 message, whereas white fast-twitch skeletal muscles express a SERCA1 message. Thus the expression pattern of the SR Ca2+ pump is similar in both billfish and tetrapod muscles. Molecular and immunological studies revealed that billfish heater tissue and superior rectus muscle express both fast and slow SR Ca2+ pump isoforms. Immunohistochemical results suggest that heater cells and most extraocular muscle fibers express the fast SR Ca2+ pump. Expression of the fast SR Ca(2+)-ATPase by heater cells has implications for heater cell origin and thermogenic control.

Background. To elucidate the detailed anatomy of the lateral rectus muscle-superior rectus muscle (LR-SR) band by cadaver eye investigation. Methods. In total, 48 eyes of 24 cadavers were observed macroscopically. The lateral rectus muscle (LRM) and superior rectus muscle (SRM) were dissected from their origins to their insertions under the dissecting microscope, and the location, width, length, and tensile strength of the LR-SR bands were measured. Results. The LR-SR band is the thick ligament interconnecting LRM pulleys with SRM pulleys. The LR-SR band was covered by the orbital part of the lacrimal gland superiorly, and the intermuscular septum between the LRM and SRM was shown anterior to the LR-SR band. The length of the attachment site between the LR-SR band and the SRM was less at 8.64 ± 1.52 mm (p=0.040), its thickness was thinner at 0.74 ± 0.16 mm (p=0.002), and its tensile strength was weaker at 7.64 ± 1.82 N (p=0.028) compared to the attachment site between the LR-SR band and the LRM. Conclusions. This study revealed the detailed anatomy of the LR-SR band and provided helpful information to understand heavy eye syndrome and sagging eye syndrome.
