Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics and treatment results of medial rectus muscle (MR) transection incurred during endoscopic sinus surgery.MethodsThis retrospective study included 16 patients with MR transection incurred during endoscopic sinus surgery between 1994 and 2015. The operative notes of the surgical procedure, the pattern of strabismus, the type of muscle injury, the type of corrective strabismus surgery, and the surgical outcomes were reviewed.ResultsNine patients had partial resection of MR and seven patients had complete transection of MR, resulting from an injury incurred during endoscopic sinus surgery. Three of the nine patients with partial resection injury were initially diagnosed as complete resection and subsequently re-diagnosed as partial resection in a review of the images during this study. Five of the nine patients with partial MR resection underwent only simple recession/resection surgery. Patients with complete MR transection underwent muscle transposition or globe fixation surgeries and often multiple operations were required.ConclusionsThe results of this study showed that the treatment strategies could vary depending on the nature of muscle injury. In cases with complete transection, muscle transposition or globe fixation surgeries are often required, with multiple operations. However, partial muscle resection with only simple recession/resection surgery shows a favorable outcome in many cases. The use of proper imaging techniques, a thorough review of the images with various planes, and close follow-up are important for determining the nature of the muscle injury.

Abstract
Total rupture of extraocular muscles is an infrequent clinical finding. Here we conducted this retrospective study to evaluate their causes of injury, clinical features, imaging, surgical management, and final outcomes in cases of isolated extraocular muscle rupture at a tertiary center in China. Thirty-six patients were identified (24 men and 12 women). Mean age was 34 years (range 2-60). The right eye was involved in 21 patients and the left 1 in 15. A sharp object or metal hook was the cause of this lesion in 16 patients, sinus surgery in 14 patients, traffic accident in 3 patients, orbital surgery in 2 patients, and conjunctive tumor surgery in 1 patient. The most commonly involved muscles were medial (18 patients) and inferior rectus muscles (13 patients). The function of the ruptured muscles revealed a scale of -3 to -4 defect of ocular motility and the amount of deviation in primary position varied from 10 to 140 PD (prism diopter). Computerized tomography (CT) confirmed the presence of ruptured muscles. An end-to-end muscle anastomosis was performed and 3 to 5 mm of muscle was resected in 23 patients. When the posterior border of the injured muscle could not be identified (13 patients), a partial tendon transposition was performed, together with recession of the antagonist in most patients, whereas a recession of the antagonist muscle plus a resection of the involved muscle with or without nasal periosteal fixation was performed in the remaining patients. After an average of 16.42 months of follow-up an excellent result was achieved in 23 patients and results of 13 patients were considered as a failure. In most patients, the posterior border of the ruptured muscle can be identified and an early surgery can be performed to restore function. Alternatively, a partial tendon transposition should be performed. When muscular rupture is suspected, an early orbital CT is required to confirm this possibility, which can then verify the necessity for an early surgical intervention.

Abstract
In recent years, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has improved the treatment of sinus disorders. However, various orbital complications have been reported, including optic nerve damage, orbital hemorrhage, infection, lacrimal drainage system injury, and strabismus. Complications are rare but may cause severe morbidity. We describe two patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery procedures that resulted in trauma to the medial rectus muscle. The first patient had medial rectus paresia due to contusional trauma and showed spontaneous resolution in a month. The other patient had an orbital medial wall defect with medial rectus injury and he underwent orbitotomy. Medial rectus innervation returned at postoperative 8 months. Several extraocular muscles may be traumatized during FESS. Timing and method of treatment are based on the severity and type of injury and the number of muscles involved. Treatment strategies are dependent on accurate interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging scans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe two rare cases of concurrent vision loss and external ophthalmoplegia following powered endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). DESIGN Observational case report. RESULTS The records of two patients who underwent powered ESS and developed multiple concurrent ophthalmic complications were retrospectively reviewed for clinical history, neuro-ophthalmologic examination, and imaging findings. Patient 1 developed a retinal vascular occlusion and complete loss of adduction. Patient 2 developed an orbital hemorrhage, optic neuropathy, and a restrictive global ophthalmoplegia. Similar published case reports were also reviewed. CONCLUSION Despite advances in powered ESS technique and instrumentation, serious ophthalmic complications can still occur. Inadvertent entry into the medial orbital wall can result in a combination of blindness and ocular motility dysfunction. The variety of mechanisms responsible for these complications underscores the importance of thorough pre- and postoperative clinical examination and review of imaging studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traumatic strabismus due to isolated extraocular muscle rupture is uncommon. Treatment usually depends on the severity of both the subjective and objective findings. METHODS We report a male patient with restricted abduction and supraduction in the right eye follow ing a blunt ocular trauma. The exploration revealed the rupture of superior rectus, superior oblique, and lateral rectus muscles. Only lateral rectus muscle could be sutured to the proximal segment. Superior rectus and superior oblique muscles were severed brutally, so that repairing was not possible. RESULTS On the day after exploration and primary suturation, there was 25 prism diopters (PD) hypotropia and 15 PD esotropia in his right eye with severe limited supraduction and abduction. His major complaint was a large vertical diplopia which resolved partially with the prismatic glasses prescribed. After 6 months follow-up, medial rectus and inferior rectus recession was performed in the right eye. The patient had a limited but improved abduction after the operation. He was orthotropic and had a single binocular vision in the primary position. DISCUSSION In suspected extraocular muscle ruptures, orbital imaging methods and surgical exploration should be considered promptly. MRI may be mandatory to demonstrate the severed muscles in cases with persistent diplopia and normal CT. Prognosis is usually better in patients having partial extraocular muscle damage and treatment options should be evaluated on patient basis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of improved ocular alignment using a suture/T-plate anchoring platform system. DESIGN Retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. METHODS setting: Institutional. study population: Seven consecutive patients with large angle deviations attributable to paralytic and/or restrictive strabismus managed jointly by orbital and strabismus surgeons. intervention procedure: The T-plate base is anchored to the orbital rim with the shaft projecting toward the orbital apex to simulate the origin of the affected muscle. A nonabsorbable suture serves as the coupling element linking the muscle insertion to the tip of the T-plate such that the suture coincides with the axis of the dysfunctional muscle and yields a pull vector to simulate the passive tensile force of the muscle. Information analyzed included patient demographics, etiology of strabismus and characteristics, prior muscle surgeries, secondary interventions, subjective appraisal of diplopia, and final ocular alignment measurements. main outcome measures: Subjective appraisal of diplopia, final ocular alignment in primary gaze, and late stability. RESULTS All 7 patients showed marked reduction in ocular deviation with a median change of 33 prism diopters (PD) and a range of 7 to 72 PD. For the 6 patients with medial rectus dysfunction, the final ocular alignment ranged from 6 to 18 PD of residual exotropia in primary gaze. The patient with sixth nerve palsy had 5 PD of residual esotropia. There were no failures after an average of 59.4 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS A globe tethering technique using a suture/titanium T-plate anchoring platform system effectively treats refractory cases of paralytic and restrictive strabismus with large angles of deviation.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effect of transposition procedures on the vertical rectus muscle (VRM) in the patients who underwent a medial rectus muscle (MR) transection after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Methods In 4 patients with exotropia (XT) and a lack of adduction after ESS, orbital CT or MRI revealed a complete transection of the midportion of the MR. Full-tendon VRM transposition was performed within 3 months after injury (early surgery) in 2 patients with 40Δ XT. Two patients with 70Δ and 85Δ XT underwent an X-type augmented Hümmelsheim procedure, which involved pulling each half-tendon and crossing it through the undersurface of the severed MR to the other end of the MR insertion, concurrently with an ipsilateral lateral rectus (LR) recession 11 months and 36 months after ESS, respectively. The adduction deficits were divided into -1 through to -8. The patients were followed up for more than than 1.5 years. Results Postoperatively, 3 patients showed orthophoria and no diplopia in the primary position. The adduction deficits improved to -3.5 or -4. One patient who underwent an X-type augmented Hümmelsheim procedure showed a residual XT of 25Δ. Conclusions VRM transposition is effective in correcting a large XT secondary to a MR transection after ESS. When a longstanding large-angle XT with severe contracture of the ipsilateral LR and massive scarring of the adjacent tissues is present, the X-type augmented Hümmelsheim procedure coupled with an ipsilateral LR recession had an augmenting effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to provide an overview of powered endoscopic sinus surgery and raise awareness of the possible neuro-ophthalmic complications associated with the procedure. RECENT FINDINGS The neuro-ophthalmic complications of endoscopic sinus surgery can be categorized into five anatomic sites: eye, orbit, optic nerve, extraocular muscle, and lacrimal drainage system. Double vision may be caused by various ocular motility abnormalities. Visual loss may be the result of orbital hemorrhage or direct optic nerve trauma. SUMMARY A wide range of neuro-ophthalmic complications may occur during endoscopic sinus surgery. The use of powered cutting instruments has been a recent advance in endoscopic sinus surgery, but it has also been implicated in rapid, irreversible, and devasting complications. Multiple preoperative and intraoperative factors appear to be involved in the adverse events associated with endoscopic sinus surgery. Ophthalmologists may be asked to evaluate and manage ocular damage in patients who have undergone endoscopic sinus surgery, and in some cases emergent intervention may be required in an attempt to avoid permanent visual loss.

Abstract
Background Although the use of endoscopes and image guidance provide some safeguards, motility complications from orbital injury during endoscopic sinus surgery still pose a significant concern and can provide a therapeutic challenge. Methods We present the case of a 40-year-old woman with strabismus secondary to an iatrogenic injury to the medial rectus muscle during endoscopic sinus surgery. Results Permanent resolution of diplopia was achieved with botulinum toxin A injection into the lateral rectus muscle without the need for surgical intervention. Conclusion Botulinum toxin A should be considered as a first-line early therapeutic option for cases of iatrogenically induced strabismus after endoscopic sinus surgery when complete transection or entrapment is not present.

Abstract
AIM To describe the radiological findings of ophthalmic complications during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and correlate them with the clinical manifestations and mechanisms of injury. METHODS This was a retrospective review of the clinical and cross-sectional imaging findings of 9 patients with orbital complications during FESS. RESULTS The most common site of entry into the orbit during FESS was the lower medial orbital wall (7 of 9), followed by the inferior orbital wall, resulting in injury to the medial rectus (4 of 9) and, less frequently, the inferior rectus (2 of 9) or superior oblique muscles (1 of 9). Extensive scarring on imaging (3 of 9) was associated with global ocular motility dysfunction. In contrast, localized scarring (3 of 9) or extraocular muscle trauma (6 of 9) resulted in disturbance of eye movement in the direction of gaze from the injured site. CONCLUSIONS Orbital magnetic resonance and computed tomography findings correlate very well with the abnormal eye movements clinically observed, and can assist in clarifying the cause of injury and guide surgical corrective management of patients suffering orbital complications from FESS. Radiologists should be familiar with the recent developments in FESS instrumentation as well as with the most commonly injured structures within the orbit.

Abstract
The intimate anatomical relationship between the orbit and the paranasal sinuses places the orbit and its contents at risk of harm from primary pathologic processes of the sinuses. In the absence of ophthalmic signs or symptoms, ophthalmologists are not routinely involved in the management of patients with sinus disease. Occasionally, some patients may develop ophthalmic complaints after surgical intervention. The orbit, optic nerve, extraocular muscles, and lacrimal drainage system are susceptible to injury during endoscopic sinus surgery. The risk of injury is related to the skill of the sinus surgeon, history of previous surgery, extent and severity of disease, and anatomic variation. Furthermore, recent advances in endoscopic sinus surgery, in particular the use of powered cutting instruments, has resulted in a novel mechanism of injury to the ocular structures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize and evaluate treatment options for medial rectus muscle (MR) injury associated with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). DESIGN Retrospective interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS A total of 30 cases were gathered from 10 centers. METHODS Cases of orbital MR injury associated with FESS surgery were solicited from members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) through an e-mail discussion group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Variables assessed included patient demographics, computerized tomography and operative findings, extent of MR injury and entrapment, secondary orbital/ocular injuries, initial and final ocular alignment and ductions, and interventions. RESULTS A spectrum of MR injury ranging from simple contusion to complete MR transection, with and without entrapment, was observed. Four general patterns of presentation and corresponding injury were categorized. CONCLUSIONS Medial rectus muscle injury as a complication of FESS can vary markedly. Proper characterization and treatment are important, particularly with reference to the degree of direct MR injury (muscle tissue loss) and entrapment. Patients with severe MR disruption can benefit from intervention but continue to show persistent limitation of ocular motility and functional impairment. Prevention and early recognition and treatment of these injuries are emphasized.

Abstract
Traumatic rupture of an extraocular muscle, in the absence of significant injury to the globe and adnexa, is uncommon. We report the case of a patient with an isolated mid-belly rupture of the medial rectus muscle following ocular trauma and describe the technique of repairing the ruptured muscle by suturing the distal segment to the Tenon sleeve of the proximal segment. This was combined with postoperative botulinum toxin injection to the ipsilateral lateral rectus muscle. Good primary position alignment was achieved 7 months after surgery. The patient regained a useful horizontal field of binocular single vision totaling 27 degrees.
