[Ocular torticollis].
The author presents an account on different causes of ophthalmological torticollis and rotational nystagmus in paresis of the trochlear nerve and abducent nerve, in Duan's syndrome I or acute Brown's syndrome or in bilateral ptosis combined with paresis of the levators. He recommends different surgical techniques and prefers combined operations performed with a single anaesthesia in pareses of the levators, the abducent nerve and trochlear nerve. For release of the horizontal direct muscles within the framework of paretic affections of the eye he recommends adjustable elongations as described by Gonin-Hollwich. In ptosis he uses frontotarsal suspension as described by Fox, using lyophilized fasciae. The paper contains also a family history of congenital fibrous syndrome.
