Changes in horizontal strabismus after inferior rectus muscle recession with or without nasal transposition in thyroid eye disease: A retrospective, observational study.

ABSTRACT: Since the inferior rectus muscle (IRM) is a secondary adductor, it is expected to commonly observe esotropia in thyroid-associated inferior rectus myopathy, but this can be improved after the IRM recession. However, variable outcomes regarding the changes in horizontal strabismus after IRM recession ± IRM nasal transposition have been encountered in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). We, therefore, examined the changes in 62 patients with TED in this retrospective, observational, comparative study. The patients were classified into 3 groups based on the results of postoperative changes in horizontal strabismus: Groups A (reduced esotropia), B (unchanged esotropia), and C (increased esotropia). Consequently, Groups A, B, and C included 23 (38.7%), 11 (17.7%), and 27 (43.5%) patients, respectively. In the multivariate linear regression analysis, the angle of preoperative esotropia (P < 0.001) and the amount of IRM nasal transposition (P = 0.049) were significant predictors of postoperative changes in horizontal strabismus. The results of our study will be helpful to ophthalmologists for formulating an effective preoperative surgical plan.

Project description:PurposeTo examine the characteristics of excyclotropia correction through surgery on the inferior rectus muscle in patients with thyroid eye disease.MethodsThis was a retrospective, observational study at a single institution. We reviewed 36 patients who had undergone unilateral inferior rectus muscle recession, with or without nasal inferior rectus muscle transposition. The following factors were investigated as possibly influencing excyclotropia correction: inferior rectus muscle thickness, degree of adipose change in the inferior rectus muscle, smoking status, history of orbital radiotherapy, and the amount of inferior rectus muscle recession. Using T1-weighted coronal magnetic resonance imaging, we measured the cross-sectional area of the inferior rectus muscle at its largest point, as well as the bright-signal area of the inferior rectus muscle, which reflects intermuscular adipose change. We then calculated the percentage internal bright-signal area at the point of the largest inferior rectus muscle cross-sectional area. The history of orbital radiotherapy was graded using a binary system. We evaluated correlations among excyclotropia correction, the amount of nasal inferior rectus muscle transposition, and the possible influencing factors listed, using stepwise multiple regression analyses.ResultsThe multiple regression model demonstrated a significant relationship among excyclotropia correction, amount of nasal inferior rectus muscle transposition, and the amount of inferior rectus muscle recession (YCORRECTION = 8.546XTENDON WIDTH + 0.405XRECESSION- 0.908; r = 0.844; adjusted r2 = 0.695; P < 0.001).ConclusionsExcyclotropia correction was correlated with the amount of nasal inferior rectus muscle transposition and the amount of inferior rectus muscle recession, but not with the other factors. The regression model presented in this study will enable us to determine more precisely the amount of nasal inferior rectus muscle transposition in patients with excyclotropia of various angles.

Project description:ImportanceBoth vertical rectus belly transposition (VRBT) and superior rectus transposition (SRT) can be performed simultaneously with ipsilateral medial rectus recession (MRc) and have been shown to be effective for chronic sixth nerve palsy. However, it is unclear whether VRBT is superior to SRT in correcting esotropia.ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of modified VRBT plus MRc (mVRBT-MRc) vs augmented SRT plus MRc (aSRT-MRc) in Chinese patients with chronic sixth nerve palsy.Design, setting, and participantsThis parallel-design, double-masked, single-center, randomized clinical trial was conducted from January 15, 2018, to May 24, 2021. The follow-up visits were scheduled at 1 month and 6 months. Eligible Chinese participants with unilateral chronic sixth nerve palsy were randomly assigned to receive either mVRBT-MRc (VRBT group) or aSRT-MRc (SRT group).InterventionsmVRBT-MRc or aSRT-MRc.Main outcomes and measuresChange of horizontal deviation in primary position from baseline to 6 months.ResultsOf the total 25 eligible participants, the mean (SD) age was 45.4 (12.6) years, with 10 male participants (40%) and 15 female participants (60%). Thirteen participants (52%) were randomly assigned to the VRBT group, and 12 (48%) were randomly assigned to the SRT group. At baseline, the mean (SD) horizontal deviation was 65.7 (10.8) prism diopters (Δ) in the VRBT group and 60.5Δ(14.1Δ) in the SRT group. Similar amounts of MRc were performed in both groups. At 6 months, the horizontal deviation changed from baseline by 66.3Δ in the VRBT group and by 51.5Δ in the SRT group. The adjusted group difference was 10.9Δ (95% CI, 5.3Δ-16.6Δ), favoring the VRBT group (P = .001). Four times as many participants corrected more than 60Δ with mVRBT-MRc compared with aSRT-MRc. The group difference of the improvement of abduction limitation was -0.2 (95% CI, -0.8 to 0.5; P = .64). Although there was a higher proportion of undercorrection in the SRT group (difference, 45%; 95% CI, 16%-75%; P = .01), no differences were identified for other suboptimal outcomes between groups.Conclusions and relevanceCompared with aSRT-MRc, mVRBT-MRc showed better effect in correcting esotropia with no differences detected for other suboptimal outcomes. mVRBT-MRc may be a promising alternative surgical procedure for chronic sixth nerve palsy, particularly for large esotropia of more than 60Δ, if these results are confirmed in larger, diverse cohorts with longer follow-up.Trial registrationChiCTR Identifier: ChiCTR-INR-17013705.

Project description:BackgroundV pattern identification is essential for proper strabismus management. Graded recession is a tailored approach to treat inferior oblique overaction (IOOA). The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of graded recession of inferior oblique muscle for correction of different grades of V pattern.MethodsForty patients from 3 to 18 years old with V pattern strabismus and primary IOOA were evaluated by prism cover test to assess the grade of IOOA and amplitude of V-pattern. Graded recession of IO muscle depends on the amplitude of the V-pattern and degree of IOOA. Eight mm recession for amplitude 15 PD to 20 PD and mild IOOA (10 PD-15 PD or + 1) ,10 mm recession for amplitude 20-30 PD and moderate IOOA (15-25 PD or + 2) and maximum recession for amplitude more than 30 PD and marked IOOA (≥ 25 PD or + 3). Simultaneous correction of the horizontal deviation was performed. Follow up after I week,1 month ,3 month and 6-month. Trial Registration Number (TRN) (NCT05786053) on 23/3/2023.ResultsThe mean age of the study patients was 9 ± 4.261. Twenty patients (50%) had V-pattern esotropia, 12 (30%) exotropia, 4 (10%) orthotropic and four (10%) had Dissociated vertical deviation (DVD). Four cases 10% were of grade 1, 20 cases (50%) grade 2 and 16 cases (40%) were of grade 3. Of eighty eyes, 66 eyes (82.5%) were fully corrected with no residual IOOA, and 14 eyes (17.5%) were under corrected. V-pattern was corrected in 28 cases 70% and only 12cases (30%) had residual V-pattern grade 1.ConclusionsGraded recession is an effective procedure for correction of V pattern strabismus with various grades of primary inferior oblique overaction. It can be tailored according to the the degree of IO overaction which is significantly related to the grade of V pattern. The 8 mm recession for IO was significantly related to recurrence or inadequate break of the V pattern in our studied cases. The grade of IOOA correlates with the amplitude of V-pattern. The amount of recession was planned according to preoperative IOOA and grade of V-pattern with frequent undercorrections obtained by the standard 8 mm recession. A + 2 overaction merits a 10-mm recession of the inferior oblique. A + 3 or + 4 overaction merits a 14-mm maximal recession.
