| Popis: | This case report describes a child who developed an acquired bilateral sequential Brown’s syndrome, confirmed each time intraoperatively, that is likely the result of a new mechanism not previously described in the literature. Arguments are provided to support the premise of a new mechanism and a new measure of relative trochlear position is suggested to further elucidate the role of “desagittalization” of the superior oblique tendon in the spectrum of superior oblique dysfunction. |
