[Congenital syndromes of oculomotor disturbances--diagnosis and results of surgical treatment].

Abstract

During the period of 30 years (1964-1994), 363 children with different congenital syndromes of oculomotor disturbances were treated: 300 with Duane's retraction syndrome, 29 with Moebius syndrome, 34 with the superior oblique tendon sheath syndrome of Brown. Symptoms of these syndromes are presented. The choice of appropriate therapy of oculomotor disturbances are described. For aesthetic indications surgical treatment was carried out in 142 (47.3%) patients with retraction syndrome, in 20 (68.7%) with Moebius syndrome and in 23 (67.75%) with Brown's syndrome. Marked reduction of deviation in primary position and reduction of anomalous head posture were obtained.
