title: [Recession of the inferior rectus muscle in superficial anesthesia in the treatment of thyroid orbitopathy].
abstract: Recession of the inferior rectus in surface anaesthesia by 5% cocaine drops was performed in 8 patients with signs of hypotropia in the course of thyroid orbitopathia and with diplopia persisting after conservatory treatment and not corrected by prisms. This method enables us an accurate intraoperative settlement of the distance of recession and it may be recommended in cases metabolically normalized, with not too much advanced exophthalmos, with a stability of the motor disturbances for at least 6 months and without any signs of inflammation.
