Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Complex strabismus often stems from unusual extraocular muscle abnormalities.
  • Traditional clinical evaluations are insufficient for diagnosing incomitant motility disorders due to these anomalies.

Observation:

  • This study presents five cases of complex strabismus linked to congenital extraocular muscle anomalies.
  • Extraocular muscle imaging, including computed x-ray tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was employed for evaluation.

Findings:

  • Imaging confirmed diagnoses such as absent medial rectus muscle, accessory lateral rectus muscle, muscle atrophy, and abnormal muscle thickening.
  • Specific findings included absence of the medial rectus, accessory lateral rectus, atrophy of inferior or superior/medial rectus muscles, and thickening of levator palpebrae superioris/superior rectus.

Implications:

  • Extraocular muscle imaging is a valuable tool for identifying anatomical abnormalities in atypical strabismus.
  • Consideration of imaging techniques is recommended for patients with complex or unusual strabismus presentations.
