Pulled-in-two syndrome in a patient with heavy eye syndrome. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We report the case of a 73-year-old woman diagnosed with heavy eye syndrome who underwent loop myopexy of the superior rectus and lateral rectus muscles after suffering pulled-in-two syndrome caused by exploration of the medial rectus muscle, which could not be recovered. Given that intraoperative forced ductions remained positive after loss of the muscle, a loop myopexy of the superior rectus muscle and lateral rectus muscles was performed. Postoperatively the patient regained full adduction, and her esotropia improved notably.
