Treatment of the lateral rectus palsy.

Abstract
The authors reported 3 cases of complete lateral rectus palsy treated with the Carlson-Jampolsky transposition technique with readjustable sutures. A fair balance in the primary position with adduction and abduction around 20 degrees were obtained. The EOG tracings recorded in all the cases prior and after surgery showed interesting aspects of this improvement both in the saccadic velocities, and in the amplitude of the movements. The follow up of these patients, up to two years, did not show any impairment of the results.
