[Surgical treatment in strabismus with a vertical component].
In the paper we studied 87 patients with vertical or combined deviations treated in Eye Clinic from Cluj-Napoca between 1994-1998. The most patients show vertical deviation due to inferior muscle overaction (70 patients). 17 patients had a vertical deviation due to another causes (superior oblique paresis, III-nerve paresis and dissociated vertical deviations). We treated vertical deviation due to superior oblique muscle overaction only when was an important deviation in the primary position of gate. In superior muscle paresis we did a superior oblique muscle resection or weaken of inferior oblique muscle secondary overacting. In III-nerve paresis with contralateral superior rectus muscle overaction we did recession of this muscle. The results are favourable: the deviation disappear in the primary position of the gaze and decrease or disappear in the lateral gaze.
