ABSTRACT

Purposes:

To objectively evaluate the torsional effect of the superior oblique muscle-weakening surgery using the tenectomy technique proposed by Souza-Dias.

Methods:

The present prospective study included 10 patients (20 eyes) with horizontal strabismus, bilateral superior oblique overaction and A-pattern of 15 to 30 prism diopters who underwent superior oblique tenectomy. Objective assessment of ocular torsion was performed by retinography immediately before and one month after surgery. The amount of ocular torsion was determined by measuring the angle formed by a horizontal line drawn across the geometric center of the optic disc and a second line connecting this point to the fovea.

Results:

The median preoperative angle was 5.56° in the right eyes and -3.43° in the left eyes. The median postoperative angle was 1.84° in the right eyes and -3.12° in the left eyes. The angle variation was statistically significant in both eyes (p=0.012 and p=0.01, respectively).

Conclusion:

The present study suggests that superior oblique tenectomy has an extorter effect, decreasing the intorsion detected on overaction of this muscle. .
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar, de forma objetiva, a torção ocular após a tenectomia do oblíquo superior, proposta por Souza-Dias.

Métodos:

Estudo prospectivo de dez pacientes (20 olhos) com estrabismo horizontal, hiperfunção bilateral dos oblíquos anisotropia em A de 15 a 30 dioptrias prismáticas, submetidos à tenectomia bilateral dos oblíquos superiores. A avaliação objetiva da torção foi realizada com a retinografia antes e após a cirurgia, determinando-se o ângulo de torção formado entre a linha horizontal que passa pelo centro do disco óptico e a linha que passa pelo centro da fóvea.

Resultados:

A mediana dos ângulos de torção pré-operatória foi de 5,56° nos olhos direitos e de 3,43° nos esquerdos. Após a cirurgia, o ângulo mediano foi de 1,84° nos olhos direitos e de -3,12° nos esquerdos. Em ambos os olhos, a variação absoluta foi estatisticamente significativa (p=0,012/p=0,01).

Conclusões:

O presente estudo demonstrou que a tenectomia do oblíquo superior tem ação extorsora, reduzindo de forma significante a intorção encontrada nos casos de hiperfunção deste músculo. .
