Case Report: Tight extraocular muscles during strabismus surgery could be extremely challenging even in experienced hands due to restricted globe rotation, limited view, and lack of muscle elasticity. Although a variety of surgical instruments have been introduced through the years, traditional muscle hooks such as the Jameson hook are largely unchanged and are bulky and cumbersome. Using the traditional muscle hook under situations such as pediatric strabismus surgery with smaller eyes and extraocular muscles may increase the risk of perforating the globe or even rupturing the muscles. We developed the “Suh muscle hook”, which has a 0.55 mm wide grooved track in a 1.1 mm wide horizontal bar, a semi-sharp dissecting tip, and a 30-degree bending near the handle accommodating for nasal bridge to better facilitate surgeons dealing with tight extraocular muscles and minimize risks during strabismus surgery.展开更多

Methods: The study collected 100 cases of normal subjects (200 eyes) from November 2012 to December 2013, including 50 males and 50 females, accepted line HR-orbital MRI, and image processing software was applied to morphology and statistical analysis. The extraocular muscles, muscle belly level horizontal diameter and maximum diameter vertical diameter were mea-sured. Results: The volume of the vitreous cavity (4.51 ± 0.26) cm3 had no significant difference with the anatomic normal value (p= .148);The volumes of the ocular globe, the anterior chamber and the lens cavity were (5.05 ± 0.21) cm3, (0.24 ± 0.26) cm3, (0.23 ± 0.14) cm3, with no statistic differences compared with those of the anatomic normal values. The extraocular muscles of normal Chinese were symmetrical on the two sides. The relationships of the short diameters of extraocular muscles in the maximum planes were: inferior rectus muscle (IR) > medial rectus muscle (MR) > superior rectus (SR) > lateral rectus muscle (LR). Those of the long diameters of extraocular muscles were: LR > MR > SR > IR. Conclusions: MRI can be used for measuring ocular volume and sizes of extraocular muscles. Compared with the anatomic normal value, the sizes of extraocular muscles can also be assessed by the symmetry on the two sides and by observing the usual rule of extraocular muscles.展开更多

METHODS: Seventy-two cats were randomly divided into 6 groups(12 cats per group). Cats' left lateral recti were clamped using a surgical needle holder with a clamping strength of 2(Groups A and D), 4(Groups B and E) and 6 kg(Groups C and F). The right lateral recti were treated as controls. On the 4^(th) and 7^(th) days, hematoxylin eosin(HE) staining, immunohistochemical staining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), muscle force measurements and ocular alignment changes were performed to evaluate the extent of injuries. RESULTS: The morphological changes were graded as mild, moderate or severe by HE staining in all experiment groups. PCNA immunohistochemical staining indicated repairment of muscle fibers in the damaged area. On the 4^(th) and 7^(th) days after clamping, the injured lateral muscle exhibited an elevated threshold for electric stimulation. The muscle forces among groups 2, 4 and 6 kg injury at 4 d(Groups A, B and C) were statistically significant(P0.05), respectively. In addition, medial deviation in ocular alignment was also present to various degrees in all groups. CONCLUSION: A cat model of acute extraocular muscle injury can be established by rectus clamping. Different clamping strengths can make different degrees of muscle injury. This model may help the future study in the acute extraocular muscle injury.展开更多

Methods Orbits of 50 volunteers (25 male and 25 female) were scanned with a multislice CT scanner. For each subject, one axial image at the central level of the eyeball, one coronal image about 1 cm behind globe, and two oblique sagittal images respectively along the left and right optic nerve were used for measurements of the thickness and width of EOMs. The statistic significance of measurement value between male and female and between left and right eyes was evaluated. Results There were no significant differences in the thickness and width of superior muscle group, lateral rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior oblique, inferior oblique and the thickness of levator palpebrae superioris between the left and right eyes as well as between male and female groups (all P>0.05). The thickness of superior muscle group and inferior rectus had not significant difference (2.9±0.7 vs. 3.3±0.8 mm, P=0.162), while the thickness of medial rectus was significantly higher than that of lateral rectus (3.1±0.5 vs. 2.2±0.6 mm, P=0.000). Conclusions The CT measurement of extraocular musculature is simple and time-saving and can be applied in the clinical work. The normative data obtained may be useful in determining pathologic enlargement of the EOMs in both thyroid-associated orbitopathy patients and other various orbital conditions.展开更多
