[Slipped superior rectus in Grave's orbitopathy. A case report].
Superior rectus slippage after its surgical recession is characterized by short-term progressive overcorrection. Similarities with inferior rectus slippage are pronounced, especially a history of Grave's orbitopathy and the use of an adjustable suture. In the present clinical case, upper eyelid retraction and a history of upper eyelid elevator muscle surgery might be specific risk factors, due to the close anatomical links between the superior rectus and the upper eyelid elevator.
