Study design Retrospective clinical case series.
Methods We included 58 eyes of 29 patients with acquired strabismus and high myopia (mean age Б} standard deviation: 60.2 Б} 14.7 years, axial length [AL]: 28.69 Б} 2.12 mm). For all eyes, the equatorial diameter of the globe/AL ratio (EAR) and the globe/orbit volume ratio (GOR) were measured using MRI. EAR and GOR values were compared between the following groups: 9 men vs. 20 women; 8 younger (< 56 years) vs. 21 older (? 56 years) patients; and non-esotropia strabismus (NES: 7 patients) vs. esotropia (ET: 13 patients) vs. restrictive strabismus (RS: 9 patients) groups.
Results Female patients had a smaller EAR (0.87 Б} 0.07) and larger GOR (0.38 Б} 0.04) than male patients (0.92 Б} 0.05 and 0.35 Б} 0.03, both P < 0.01). Older patients had a smaller EAR (0.87 Б} 0.07) than younger ones (0.93 Б} 0.04, P < 0.01), without significant differences in GOR. EAR (NES: 0.92 Б} 0.06, ET: 0.86 Б} 0.06, RS: 0.89 Б} 0.09) significantly differed among the three strabismus groups (P = 0.02: post-hoc test: NES vs. ET, P = 0.02; NES vs. RS, P = 0.49; RS vs. ET, P = 0.67), but no significant differences in GOR were found (P = 0.12).
Conclusions Among patients with acquired strabismus and high myopia, women, older patients, and those with esotropia exhibit a smaller EAR and longer sphere shape with AL as the major axis. The parameter EAR might be useful for evaluating the pathogenesis of strabismus associated with high myopia. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KonoReika en-aut-sei=Kono en-aut-mei=Reika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamasakiIchiro en-aut-sei=Hamasaki en-aut-mei=Ichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KishimotoFumiko en-aut-sei=Kishimoto en-aut-mei=Fumiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimizuTakehiro en-aut-sei=Shimizu en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KindoHiroya en-aut-sei=Kindo en-aut-mei=Hiroya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShibataKiyo en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Kiyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorisawaShin en-aut-sei=Morisawa en-aut-mei=Shin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorizaneYuki en-aut-sei=Morizane en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Division of Ophthalmology, Ibara City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Division of Ophthalmology, Okayama City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=High myopia kn-keyword=High myopia en-keyword=Strabismus kn-keyword=Strabismus en-keyword=Eye dimensions kn-keyword=Eye dimensions en-keyword=Magnetic resonance imaging kn-keyword=Magnetic resonance imaging en-keyword=Esotropia kn-keyword=Esotropia END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=75 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=447 end-page=453 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=202108 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Clinical Parameters Reflecting Globe/orbit Volume Imbalances in Japanese Acquired Esotropia Patients with High Myopia but without Abduction Limitations en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In high myopia, eye dislocation due to increased globe volume or tight orbital volume causes acquired esotro-pia.

In this retrospective study, 20 eyes from 10 acquired esotropia patients with high myopia but without abduction limitations were examined. The mean age of the patients was 63.7 Б} 8.2 years (mean Б} standard deviation). Volumes were measured on the three-dimen-sional fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition magnetic resonance imaging images using the vol-ume-measurement function. Correlations between GOR and the displacement angle of the globe (DA), axial length (AL), and equatorial diameter (ED) were investigated. Mean DA, AL, ED, and GOR values were 107.5 Б} 8.5БЛ, 28.86 Б} 1.92 mm, 25.00 Б} 1.16 mm, and 0.36 Б} 0.05, respectively. Only AL was correlated with GOR (p < 0.0001, R2 = 0.6649); DA (p = 0.30, R2 = 0.0633) and ED (p = 0.91, R2 = 0.0008) were not. AL was the only clinically available parameter to indicate globe/orbit volume imbalances in acquired esotropia with high myopia but without abduction limitation. AL may be important for the clinical assessment of the progression of this pathology. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KonoReika en-aut-sei=Kono en-aut-mei=Reika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamasakiIchiro en-aut-sei=Hamasaki en-aut-mei=Ichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KishimotoFumiko en-aut-sei=Kishimoto en-aut-mei=Fumiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtuskiHiroshi en-aut-sei=Ohtuski en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShibataKiyo en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Kiyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorizaneYuki en-aut-sei=Morizane en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShiragaFumio en-aut-sei=Shiraga en-aut-mei=Fumio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Division of Ophthalmology, Ibara City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Division of Ophthalmology, Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=acquired esotropia kn-keyword=acquired esotropia en-keyword=high myopia (high myopes) kn-keyword=high myopia (high myopes) en-keyword=globe volume kn-keyword=globe volume en-keyword=magnetic resonance imaging kn-keyword=magnetic resonance imaging en-keyword=limitation of abduction kn-keyword=limitation of abduction END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=15 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=e0243382 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=20201223 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Shape analysis of rectus extraocular muscles with age and axial length using anterior segment optical coherence tomography en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the shape of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) in normal subjects using the en-face images of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). The EOM insertion and the direction of the muscle fibers were investigated.
Subjects and methods
A total of 97 healthy normal subjects (194 eyes) at Okayama University Hospital (age, 47.1Б}21.5 years; range, 8?79 years) participated in the study. A series of 256 tomographic images of the rectus EOMs were captured using the C-scan function of the AS-OCT (CASIA2, TOMEY Co., Japan), and the images were converted to en-face images in multi-TIFF format. The anterior chamber angle to EOM insertion distance (AID) and the angle of the muscle fibers from the insertion site (angle of muscles) were measured from the images. The correlations of AID and angle of muscles with age and axial length were investigated and evaluated.
Results
AID and angle of muscles were significantly correlated with age or axial length in some EOMs. The AIDs of medial rectus (MR) (P = 0.000) and superior rectus (SR) (P = 0.005) shortened with age. The AIDs of MR (P = 0.001) and inferior rectus (IR) (P = 0.035) elongated with axial length, whereas lateral rectus (LR) (P = 0.013) shortened. The angles of MR (P = 0.001) and LR (P = 0.000) were found to have a more downward direction toward the posterior in older subjects.
Conclusion
En-face images can be created by AS-OCT, and the shape of the EOMs in normal subjects using these image measurements was available. With the ability to assess the EOMs, AID and angle of muscles are expected give useful information for treating and diagnosing strabismus-related diseases. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ShibataKiyo en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Kiyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraAtsushi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamasakiIchiro en-aut-sei=Hamasaki en-aut-mei=Ichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimizuTakehiro en-aut-sei=Shimizu en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KonoReika en-aut-sei=Kono en-aut-mei=Reika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanenagaKeisuke en-aut-sei=Kanenaga en-aut-mei=Keisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakazawaMasanori en-aut-sei=Nakazawa en-aut-mei=Masanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorizaneYuki en-aut-sei=Morizane en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Orthoptics, Faculty of Rehabilitation, Kawasaki University of Medical Welfare kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=20 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=20200605 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Risk factors for excessive postoperative exo-drift after unilateral lateral rectus muscle recession and medial rectus muscle resection for intermittent exotropia en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Background: To detect significant factors associated with excessive postoperative exo-drift in young patients with intermittent exotropia who had undergone unilateral lateral rectus muscle recession and medial rectus muscle resection.
Methods: We retrospectively examined the records of 64 consecutive patients < 18 years old who underwent surgery between April 2004 and December 2011. We sought risk factors for excessive postoperative exo-drift among patients' demographic and clinical characteristics using univariate and multivariable linear regression analysis.
Results: Younger patients (P = 0.007), and those with larger preoperative exo-deviation at distance (P = 0.033), a lower incidence of peripheral fusion at distance (P = 0.021) or a greater postoperative initial eso-deviation (P = 0.001), were significantly more likely to have an excessive postoperative exo-drift (> 20 prism diopters). Univariate analysis revealed significant associations between excessive postoperative exo-drift and age at surgery (P = 0.004), preoperative exo-deviation at distance (P = 0.017) and postoperative initial eso-deviation at distance (P < 0.001). Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that postoperative initial eso-deviation at distance (P = 0.008) was significantly associated with postoperative exo-drift.
Conclusions: Postoperative exodrift in unilateral RR is predicted by the initial postoperative eso-deviation, which may offset the overcorrection. However, the exo-drift is greater in cases with a large preoperative exo-deviation and/or at a younger age, and should be followed carefully. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MorisawaShin en-aut-sei=Morisawa en-aut-mei=Shin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamasakiIchiro en-aut-sei=Hamasaki en-aut-mei=Ichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShibataKiyo en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Kiyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimizuTakehiro en-aut-sei=Shimizu en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KonoReika en-aut-sei=Kono en-aut-mei=Reika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyataManabu en-aut-sei=Miyata en-aut-mei=Manabu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=FuruseTakashi en-aut-sei=Furuse en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=HasebeSatoshi en-aut-sei=Hasebe en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtsukiHiroshi en-aut-sei=Ohtsuki en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorizaneYuki en-aut-sei=Morizane en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShiragaFumio en-aut-sei=Shiraga en-aut-mei=Fumio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology,Kawasaki Medical School General Medical Center kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology,Kawasaki Medical School General Medical Center kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Division of Ophthalmology, Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=Intermittent exotropia kn-keyword=Intermittent exotropia en-keyword=Postoperative exo-drift kn-keyword=Postoperative exo-drift en-keyword=Recurrent exotropia kn-keyword=Recurrent exotropia en-keyword=Recession and resection procedure kn-keyword=Recession and resection procedure en-keyword=Strabismus surgery kn-keyword=Strabismus surgery END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=74 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=229 end-page=236 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=202006 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Formulas to Estimate Appropriate Surgical Amounts of Unilateral Recession-Resection in Intermittent Exotropia with Distance-Near Disparity en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The purpose of this study was to derive new formulas to provide an optimal surgical procedure and optimal amount of recession-resection (RR) surgery in intermittent exotropia (IXT) with a disparity in angle of deviation depending on the fixation distance. The records of 117 consecutive patients with IXT who underwent RR surgery between March 2008 and December 2011 at Okayama University Hospital were retrospectively examined. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed using the observed corrective angle of deviation at distance or near fixation as the dependent variable, and amounts of lateral rectus muscle (LR) recession (mm) and medial rectus muscle (MR) resection, and age at surgery (years) as independent variables. Two simultaneous formulas were derived: corrective angle of deviation at distance fixation (БЛ)=1.8Б~recession (mm)+1.6Б~ resection (mm)+0.15Б~age (years)?6.6, and corrective angle at near fixation (БЛ)=1.5Б~recession (mm)+1.7Б~ resection (mm)+0.18Б~age (years)?3.8. Comparisons of coefficient values of the formulas between distance and near fixation revealed that LR recession was more affected by the corrective angle in distance than near fixation. MR resection was more affected at near than distance fixation. We found that our new formulas estimated the appropriate amount of unilateral RR surgery. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ShibataKiyo en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Kiyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamasakiIchiro en-aut-sei=Hamasaki en-aut-mei=Ichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ToshimaShinji en-aut-sei=Toshima en-aut-mei=Shinji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimizuTakehiro en-aut-sei=Shimizu en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KonoReika en-aut-sei=Kono en-aut-mei=Reika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyataManabu en-aut-sei=Miyata en-aut-mei=Manabu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorisawaShin en-aut-sei=Morisawa en-aut-mei=Shin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=FuruseTakashi en-aut-sei=Furuse en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=HasebeSatoshi en-aut-sei=Hasebe en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtsukiHiroshi en-aut-sei=Ohtsuki en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorizaneYuki en-aut-sei=Morizane en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShiragaFumio en-aut-sei=Shiraga en-aut-mei=Fumio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Kurashiki Medical Center kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Kawasaki Medical School General Medical Center kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=surgical amount kn-keyword=surgical amount en-keyword=intermittent exotropia kn-keyword=intermittent exotropia en-keyword=recession and resection procedure kn-keyword=recession and resection procedure en-keyword=strabismus surgery kn-keyword=strabismus surgery en-keyword=recurrent exotropia kn-keyword=recurrent exotropia END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=257 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=662 end-page=662 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20190122 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Magnetic resonance imaging findings of age-related distance esotropia in Japanese patients with high myopia en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of the extraocular muscles and the orbital connective tissue pulleys in Japanese patients with age-related distance esotropia (ARDE) and high myopia using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods
This was a retrospective case-series study. High-resolution coronal MRI scans of 12 orbits were obtained in 6 patients with ARDE and high myopia (age range: 51?69 years). We analyzed the images to determine the positions of the rectus muscle pulleys relative to the center of the globe, the integrity of the lateral rectus-superior rectus muscle (LR-SR) band, and the LR angle (the angle between the major axis of the LR and the vertical plane).
Results
The distance esotropia ranged from 4 to 25?, and 3 cases exhibited vertical deviations. The mean (Б}standard deviation (SD)) axial length was 28.5 (Б} 1.6) mm. The mean positions of the medial rectus muscle pulley and LR pulley were 1.3 mm inferior and 1.4 mm inferior, respectively, to those seen in the normal control group in our previous study (P?=?0.002 and P?=?0.05, respectively). All 12 orbits had abnormal elongated LR-SR bands, and 8 orbits (67%) displayed ruptured LR-SR bands. The LR angle (meanБ}SD; 18.8БЛ?Б}?8.5БЛ) increased significantly with the inferior displacement of the LR pulley (R2?=?0.77, P?=?0.0002).

Inferior displacement of the LR pulley and abnormal LR-SR bands were seen in Japanese ARDE patients with high myopia, as was found in ARDE patients without high myopia. The LR angle might be useful for judging the degree of LR pulley displacement. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KonoReika en-aut-sei=Kono en-aut-mei=Reika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtsukiHiroshi en-aut-sei=Ohtsuki en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KishimotoFumiko en-aut-sei=Kishimoto en-aut-mei=Fumiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamasakiIchiro en-aut-sei=Hamasaki en-aut-mei=Ichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorizaneYuki en-aut-sei=Morizane en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShiragaFumio en-aut-sei=Shiraga en-aut-mei=Fumio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Medical School, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Division of Ophthalmology, Okayama Saiseikai General Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Division of Ophthalmology, Ibara City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=age-related distance esotropia kn-keyword=age-related distance esotropia en-keyword=esotropia kn-keyword=esotropia en-keyword=high myopia kn-keyword=high myopia en-keyword=orbital pulley kn-keyword=orbital pulley en-keyword=sagging eye syndrome kn-keyword=sagging eye syndrome END
