Abstract:
Surgical management-depending upon the severity of the ophthalmoplegia-ranges from restorative to palliative. In paresis with reasonable residual muscle function and ductions, the goal of the surgery is not only to restore single vision in primary position but also to provide a relatively normal field of single binocular vision. With complete paralysis of a single muscle or more than one muscle served by a single cranial nerve (third), in addition to conventional recess or resect surgery, the transposition of still-functioning muscles is often needed to obtain a durable result and restore at least some field of single binocular vision. In complete ophthalmoplegia, the benefits of the surgery are limited; but even in these cases, surgery can often reduce the need for an awkward head posture and improve appearance.
