ABSTRACT
CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente con síndrome de Duane, operado con transposición aumentada de recto superior (TRS) al recto lateral (RL), y recesión del recto medio (RM). En el postoperatorio se observó desviación vertical, torsional y diplopía. La retirada de la fijación escleral y la recesión del RS lo resolvieron. DISCUSIÓN: La TRS al RL está descrita en el tratamiento del síndrome de Duane con resultados controvertidos. Puede ser una alternativa a la transposición de los rectos verticales cuando asocia la recesión del RM en el mismo procedimiento, o en el postoperatorio inmediato para disminuir el riesgo de isquemia del segmento anterior
CLINICAL CASE: A patient diagnosed with Duane syndrome underwent an augmented superior rectus transposition (SRT) to lateral rectus (LR) and medial rectus (MR) recession. Vertical, torsional deviation and diplopia were observed post-operatively. Removal of the Foster suture and superior rectus recession resolved the symptoms. DISCUSSION: SRT to LR is proposed in Duane syndrome with a favorable outcome. The benefit of SRT is open to debate. It could be an alternative for the vertical rectus transposition when MR recession has to be operated on in the same procedure, or in the immediate post-operative period, in order to decrease the risk of anterior segment ischaemia
