title: Simulated superior oblique tendon sheath syndrome.
abstract: Three patients with simulated Brown's superior oblique tendon sheath syndrome are presented. With the use of computed tomographic (CT) findings, the site of the pathology could be demonstrated. In all three patients, there were definite abnormal findings in the anterior sheath of the reflected tendon of the superior oblique. The abnormal findings in one case were confirmed at the time of surgery. Therapy in two of the cases was determined by the abnormal findings on the CT scan.
