Huge - angle - exotropia - how to correct extreme deviations by monolateral eye muscle surgery plus free mucosa transplant.
W. Lange, S. Motz
The majority of exotropia with extreme deviations (30 - 45 ° or 60 to 90 ° prismn dioptres) are secundary cases - either consecutive, following monolateral combined recession/resection procedures in childhood or extreme anisometropia or following trauma.
Patients usually prefer monolateral surgery in these cases. The paper presents a technique of free mucosa transplant to allow such great changes be monolateral surgery (up to 90 prismn dioptres).
