[New surgical approach in the treatment of incomitant strabismus: case report].
The authors report the utilization of the surgical technique proposed by Scott, in 1994, of recess and resection of the same extraocular muscle in the treatment of incomitant horizontal strabismus. A 22-year-old female presented with incomitant strabismus, with an esotropia of 9delta for distant and 30delta for near. She was submitted to a recess and resection of the right medial rectus. She presented satisfactory results in the long-term, showing that this technique could be part of the therapeutic arsenal for correction of incomitant strabismus.
