When and How to Strengthen the Superior Oblique Muscle Costenbader Lecture When and how to strengthen the superior oblique muscle Richard A. Saunders, MD PURPOSE To review the history of procedures used to strengthen the action of the superior oblique (SO) muscle and methods of quantifying surgical dosage and to determine the relationship between congenital onset and tendon laxity measured at the time of surgery. METHODS We reviewed medical records over a 10-year period of 30 patients who had undergone SO tendon tuck for SO muscle palsy using intraoperative assessment of forced ductions to de- termine surgical dosage. We also designed and tested a modified Bishop tucker, which can simultaneously measure tendon shortening and the force required. This allowed develop- ment of length tension curves between 0 and 200 g for individual SO tendons in patients with and without evidence of muscle palsy. RESULTS In distinction to most other procedures on the extraocular muscles, intraoperative forced ductions are used to determine appropriate surgical dosage. Patients undergoing SO ten- don tuck using a uniform and repeatable forced duction method receive a greater amount of tuck (mean, 3 mm) when there is known congenital onset. Patients with congenital SO muscle palsy received a mean tuck of 10.8 mm (range, 8-16 mm), whereas patients with equivocal or known adult-onset SO palsy received a mean of 7.8 mm (range, 4-12 mm; p 5 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Patients with congenital SO muscle palsy have increased tendon laxity when measured di- rectly during SO tendon tuck. The excursion of presumed normal SO tendons through the trochlea is variable and may be less than previously thought. Modifying the Bishop tucker to provide length and tension data provides information that may be useful in determining surgical dosage.

Albert L. Rhoton, Jr. Nobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton, Jr., MD have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies of complex facial nerves and related structures. An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton’s microanatomy lab, writing in the preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical innovation. Special Features • Exquisite color photographs, prepared from carefully dissected latex injected cadavers, reveal anatomy layer by layer with remarkable detail and clarity • An added highlight, 3-D versions of these extraordinary images, are available online in the Thieme MediaCenter • Major sections include intracranial region and skull, upper facial and midfacial region, and lower facial and posterolateral neck region Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well as other conditions and injuries.

We report a double-bellied superior rectus muscle, observed in an adult male cadaver aged 70 years. The superior rectus muscle had two equal-sized bellies, which took separate origins from the common tendinous ring and united to form a common belly 1 cm before the insertion. Due to the duplication, the muscle extended laterally beyond the levator palpebrae superioris. Both its bellies were supplied by oculomotor nerve. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on doubling of the belly of the superior rectus muscle.

  • A- and V-Patterns and Oblique Muscle Overaction A- and V-Patterns
    18 A- and V-Patterns and Oblique Muscle Overaction A- and V-Patterns Clinical Features Etiology Management with Horizontal Rectus Muscle Offsets Inferior Oblique Overaction Etiology Clinical Features Differential Diagnosis Management Superior Oblique Overaction Etiology Clinical Features Differential Diagnosis Management Superior Oblique Weakening Procedures Complications A- and V-patterns of strabismus are changes in the horizontal deviation as the patient looks up and down. They are usually associated with oblique dysfunction, either overaction or paresis. Primary oblique muscle overaction is when an oblique muscle is too strong for its antagonist and there is no known cause. Secondary oblique overaction is caused by a paresis of the antagonist muscle. A superior oblique paresis results in inferior oblique overaction, and inferior oblique paresis results in superior oblique overaction. This chapter covers the management of A- and V- patterns and primary oblique muscle overaction. A- and V-Patterns CLINICAL FEATURES A-patterns are defined as increasing divergence in down gaze (>10 prism diopters [PD]), whereas Vpatterns are increased divergence (>15 prism diopters) in up gaze. The type of A- or V-pattern helps identify the cause. Superior oblique paresis produces a V-pattern, arrow subtype, with convergence in down gaze. The arrow pattern subtype indicates a lack of abduction in down gaze, the field of action of the superior oblique muscles. Inferior oblique overaction, on the other hand, has a V-pattern, Y subtype, with increased abduction in up gaze. The Y-pattern occurs because the field of action of the inferior oblique muscles is up gaze and they are abductors. Lambda subtype is typically associated with superior oblique overaction, with increased abduction in down gaze, because the field of action is in down gaze.

P a g e | 1 Comparative anatomy case study: differences in extrinsic eye muscles and dissection protocols Abstract: There have been notable studies comparing the eye placement between predators and prey, which can be further categorized as omnivore, carnivore, and herbivore. The purpose of this study was to determine if eye placement correlated with extrinsic eye muscle differences among the classification of animals (predator vs. prey and omnivore vs. carnivore vs. herbivore). For an omnivore, a human orbit was dissected. A cat was dissected to represent a carnivore and a goat was dissected to represent an herbivore. Dissection protocol for the cat and goat were created due to the lack of dissections of these muscles. Unfortunately, data collection was incomplete due to the social distancing policy on Iowa State University’s campus because of COVID-19.
