Popis: Purpose To assess the efficacy of superior oblique temporal tenectomy 6.0 mm from its insertion to treat A-pattern strabismus of all magnitudes. Methods The clinical records of patients with A-pattern eso- or exotropia associated with bilateral superior oblique overaction who underwent bilateral superior oblique 6.0 mm temporal tenectomy at a single institution over a 17-year period were reviewed retrospectively. Outcome measures were change in the A pattern and correlation with preoperative A pattern. Results A total of 102 patients were included. The mean preoperative A-pattern deviation was 21Δ ± 9Δ, with a postoperative pattern collapse of 18Δ ± 10Δ. Change in A pattern was significantly correlated with the preoperative A pattern (r = 0.70; P Conclusions In our study cohort, bilateral superior oblique temporal tenectomy was an effective and self-adjusting procedure for A-pattern strabismus associated with superior oblique overaction. Larger preoperative A patterns did not show a significant trend toward larger residual postoperative deviations compared with smaller preoperative patterns. A uniform dose of bilateral superior oblique temporal tenectomy collapses A patterns of all magnitudes.
