Extraocular Muscle Surgery for Nystagmus

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 2006
<h4>EXCERPT</h4> <p><b>Wagner:</b> A 9-year-old boy with tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism presents with best spectacle-corrected visual acuity of 20/80 in both eyes and a +2, -250 at 180° refraction that is symmetric in both eyes. He has a horizontal pendular nystagmus typical of oculocutaneous albinism, with no

Extraocular Muscle Involvement in Sarcoldosis

Ophthalmology, 1993
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous inflammatory disease that may have a variety of ocular and orbital manifestations. The most common ocular manifestation is uveitis, and the most common orbital manifestation is dacryoadenitis. Extraocular muscle involvement in sarcoidosis has rarely been reported.

Nebulin isoforms of extraocular muscle

Cell and Tissue Research, 2006
The extraocular muscles (EOMs), which are responsible for reflexive and voluntary eye movements, have many unique biochemical, physiological, and ultrastructural features that set them apart from other skeletal muscles. For example, rodent EOMs lack M-lines and express EOM-specific myosin heavy chain (MYH13) and alpha-cardiac myosin heavy chain. Recent

Anatomy of the Extraocular Muscles

2019
The extraocular muscles have a complex anatomical structure that includes an insertion from the tendinous ring of zinn or the orbital walls and insertion on the globe. They are linked intimately with fascia which forms the pulley system that supports their action.

The Extraocular Muscles and Their Actions

1972
Apart from its importance in the treatment of squint, an adequate knowledge of the movements of the eyes, and their neuromuscular control, is of considerable value in understanding the physiological mechanisms concerned with the maintenance of posture; moreover, it would seem that our perceptions of objects, and particularly of their spatial ...

Cystic Lesions of the Extraocular Muscles

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1996
Cystic lesions of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) are uncommon. Six patients with a cystic lesion in an extraocular muscle, as observed by computerized tomography (CT) scanning, were retrospectively identified from the practice of one of the authors (G.C.S.), and their clinical course was reviewed.

The Extraocular Muscles

2012
Whereas skeletal muscles generally perform specific limited roles, extraocular muscles (EOMs) have to be responsive over a wider dynamic range. As a result, EOMs have fundamentally distinct structural, functional, biochemical, and immunological properties as compared to other skeletal muscles. At birth, the extraocular muscles are at approximately 50 %

A Review of Proprioception in Extraocular Muscles

Optometry and Vision Science, 1983
The controversial literature concerning the presence or absence of extraocular muscle proprioception is reviewed under the headings of anatomical, physiological, and psychophysical evidence. The principal area of confusion, namely whether to expect conscious awareness of proprioceptive information, is a problem also faced by researchers dealing with ...

Amyloid deposition in the extraocular muscles

Orbit, 1999
Orbital involvement is frequent in generalised amyloidosis. However, primary localised amyloid in the orbit is rare and requires systemic investigation. We present a case with amyloid deposits localised to one extraocular muscle in whom systemic investigation has been negative.

The Extraocular Muscles

2016
Four rectus (superior, inferior, medial, and lateral) and two oblique (superior and inferior) extraocular muscles (EOMs) insert onto the eye and contribute to all ocular movements [1, 2].
