SURGICAL METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF HORIZONTAL PENDULAR NYSTAGMUS

摘要

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves releasing access to the musculus rectus internus. The muscle is attached to sclera with double blanket sutures in a zone disposed on the other side of eyeball equator. The like intervention is carried out on the musculus rectus externus and on the other eye. The sutures are put in over the external muscle 5-7 mm further than over the internal ones. To achieve minimum effect, optimum is putting in sutures over the musculus rectus internus 11 mm far from the physiological attachment place, and over the musculus rectus externus 17 mm far from the physiological attachment place. To achieve maximum effect, optimum is putting in sutures over the musculus rectus internus 17 mm far from the physiological attachment place, and over the musculus rectus externus 23 mm far from the physiological attachment place. The sutures are applied to 1/3 of muscle width with 1/3 of sclera thickness being involved. EFFECT: reduced risk of postsurgical complications; high stability of treatment results. 3 cl, 3 dwg, 2 tbl
