The purpose of this study is to report our experience in the treatment of patients with paresis of the superior oblique after posterior segment surgery.and method: Between 1997 and 1998, we cared for four cases at the ophthalmology department of the Casablanca University Hospital. All four patients were men (mean age 44 years, range 31-67 years) with vertical diplopia. Our management scheme was based on prismotherapy and intensive motor and sensory orthoptic rehabilitation.A satisfactory clinical course was achieved in 3 patients after a mean 20 rehabilitation sessions. In the last case with a cyclotorsion, surgery was required after failure of medical treatment.Our therapeutic scheme appears to be effective only in case of deficient verticality. |
