ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Purpose: Investigation of the results of the surgery applied to patients with Brown’s syndrome. Material and Methods: The files of 51 patients with Brown’s Syndrome, who were examined between 1991-2003 at the Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Department of our hospital, were retrospectively studied. This study was conducted on 18 patients who had been operated. The subjects consisted of 10 female and 8 male patients with mean follow up being 28 months. Findings: 19 eyes of 18 patients were operated. In 5 cases superior oblique tenotomy, in 4 cases elongation with superior oblique silicon expander, in 9 cases inter capsular tenotomy and elongation with non-absorbable suture were performed. When 1-10 scale was used for operation results, 17 of 19 eyes (89.5%) had successful results with 7 and above score. Results: Operation techniques used, gave successful results. Elongation with suture had both stable successful results in controls and was simple and may be preferred.
