ABSTRACT
Muscle transplanation surgery is presently widely accepted as a good precedure not only for cosmetic, but also for functional results, a concept to which Marina's observations on the absence of fixed and predetermined functions in the nuclei and associated tracts of the oculomotor system give great support; however, not everyone is in agreement with this concept. This paper report one case in which the total transplantation of the vertical rectus muscles midway between their insertions and the insertion of the lateral rectus muscle were carried out, in addition recession of the medial rectus muscle and resection of the paralyzed lateral rectus muscle. Our case have been followed up during 8 months to rule out late complications, aspecially ocular movement and diplopia. No late complications, however, have been found up to remaining underaction of the right superior and inferior oblique muscles and also medial rectus muscle. The eyes were straight with abduction of the right eye up to 40 prism diopters. Binocular vision was present and there was no diplopia. The cosmetic result was excellent.

The effect of IDU and cryocautery in the treatment of Herpes Simplex Keratitis was presented. The cryoapplicator was a model of Krwawlcz probe (2 mm in diameter) which was refrigerated in a mixture of dry ice and methyl alcohol. The applicator was appJied on the lesions 7 seconds each and antibiotics and atropine solutions were instilled. A good result was experienced in the treatment of several cases of dendritic kenititis by freezing the corneal lesions by means of cryoappJicator, which had not been responded to IDU therapy speedy. The deep neovascularization of the cornea in a case of stromal keratitis was disappeared after cryocautery for the treatment of the superficial corneal ulcers.
