| Popis: | Monocular elevation deficiency is characterized by the inability to elevate one eye in abduction, adduction, and primary gaze. To date, various operations, including Knapp's procedure, have been used in the management of hypotropia associated with this condition. However, single muscle transposition has only recently been described as a feasible alternative, offering a number of advantages over other techniques. In particular, it reduces the risk of anterior segment ischemia and allows for an inferior rectus recession to occur simultaneously as is often required, thus avoiding the need for staged operations. It also facilitates a wider range of management options to correct for associated horizontal deviation. We present a case detailing the use of single muscle transposition in the management of monocular elevation deficiency and in doing so confirm the utility of this novel technique. |
