Abstract:
Anterior transposition(AT) of inferior oblique muscle is an effective method to treat dissociated vertical deviation(DVD) with inferior oblique overaction(IOOA). We evaulated the clinical results of the AT and the correlation between preoperative conditions(DVD, IOOA) and postoperative vertical correction. The results was that the amount of anterior transposition was related with that of postoperative vertical correction, which was determined by the amount of preoperative DVD.
