New Surgical Method for Nystagmus without Null Point

New Surgical Method for Nystagmus without Null Point We report our results in nystagmus without null point surgery, utilizing a new technique consisting in the placement of a silicone encircling band around the globe over the four recti muscles, in the retroequatorial position. This method was tried only in nystagmus without null point and with both horizontal and vertical movements. We have not observed any ischemic complication of the anterior segment nor any important variation of intraocular pressure probably because the silicone band was not tightened. Other advantages of this method are its reversibility (cutting the silicone band) and the possibility of combining it with recession-resection of recti muscles at the same or at a later date. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Ophthalmologica Karger

Abstract

We report our results in nystagmus without null point surgery, utilizing a new technique consisting in the placement of a silicone encircling band around the globe over the four recti muscles, in the retroequatorial position. This method was tried only in nystagmus without null point and with both horizontal and vertical movements. We have not observed any ischemic complication of the anterior segment nor any important variation of intraocular pressure probably because the silicone band was not tightened. Other advantages of this method are its reversibility (cutting the silicone band) and the possibility of combining it with recession-resection of recti muscles at the same or at a later date.
