New surgical approach in the treatment of incomitant strabismus: case report

The authors report the utilization of the surgical technique proposed by Scott, in 1994, of recess and resection of the same extraocular muscle in the treatment of incomitant horizontal strabismus. A 22-year-old female presented with incomitant strabismus, with an esotropia of 9delta for distant and 30delta for near. She was submitted to a recess and resection of the right medial rectus. She presented satisfactory results in the long-term, showing that this technique could be part of the therapeutic arsenal for correction of incomitant strabismus.
