title: [Surgery in congenital Brown's syndrome].
abstract: The authors present a rare developmental anomaly of the eye muscles-Brown's syndrome which frequently poses a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The authors analyze the case-history of a female patient with this disease where a very successful new surgical method was introduced using a silicone expander implanted into the upper oblique muscle. The author discusses in particular possible surgical approaches in Brown's syndrome.
