Superior Oblique Anterior Transposition with Horizontal Recti Recession-Resection for Total Third-Nerve Palsy

Figure 2

Preoperative (a–e) and postoperative (f–j) ocular alignment of right third-nerve palsy (patient number 6 in Tables 1 and 2). The patient is fixing with the left eye and mild ptosis is seen in photograph (c). A mild upper lid retraction with downgaze may be the evidence of aberrant regeneration (e). In the right eye all movements, except abduction, were grossly limited (a–e). No deviation is seen on postoperative photographs in primary position on sixth postoperative month (h). Postoperative superior and inferior gaze are grossly limited but there is a limited function at abduction (f-g–j) and a limited adduction function is regained (i).
