ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Wide surgical access to the orbital floor and medial wall is often impaired by the course of the inferior oblique muscle. There is no current consensus on the optimal surgical approach for exposure, and techniques involving inferior oblique division are generally shunned for concern of possible complications. OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and outcomes of inferior oblique division and reattachment for surgical access to the orbital floor and medial wall during orbital fracture repair. METHODS: Retrospective, single-center, review of 85 patients that underwent orbital floor, medial wall or combined fracture repair with division and reattachment of the inferior oblique near its origin. Measured characteristics include surgical approach, type of surgery, time to surgery, pre- and post-operative diplopia, enophthalmos, and complications. RESULTS: Forty-five patients (52.9%) with no pre-operative diplopia were followed up for a mean of six months. Of these, six patients (13.3%) developed post-operative binocular diplopia that resolved in all patients on an average of three months (range 2-6 months). No patients developed torsional diplopia. One patient developed a hematoma two years later attributable to capsular contraction around the implant. CONCLUSION: Division and reattachment of the inferior oblique muscle is a safe method that allows for panoramic surgical visualization of the inferior and medial orbit.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The review updates the mechanisms, clinical presentations, diagnoses, and managements of Descemet membrane detachment during cataract surgery. RECENT FINDINGS: The advent of new imaging techniques such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography and better comprehension of the clinical and pathological aspects of detachment have improved the diagnosis and treatment of this complication to the extent that the first algorithms and protocols have been proposed. SUMMARY: Though infrequent, Descemet membrane detachment is a complication of intraocular surgery, including cataract surgery and phacoemulsification. Since the first systematic description and classification in the literature by Samuels in 1928 and its characterization as a potential sight-threatening condition by Scheie in 1964, plenty of retrospective and anecdotal evidence contribute to uncertainty and debate. The main controversy still lies in the choice between conservative treatment in hopes of spontaneaous reattachment and surgical treatment in a timely manner to maximize visual recovery.
