Popis: Lateral rectus transposition to the medial rectus muscle has recently generated interest in the management of oculomotor nerve palsy. We report 4 cases of complete oculomotor nerve palsy with a large-angle exotropia that were treated with a modified adjustable nasal transposition of the split lateral rectus muscle. Forced duction testing for the lateral rectus muscle showed good adduction in all 4 cases. Postoperative alignment within 10Δ in straight-ahead gaze was achieved in all 4 cases; adjustment was required in 2 cases.
