Abstract

Modified Nishida's procedure (no split, no tenotomy transposition) has been recently described as an effective surgery for monocular elevation deficiency and for traumatic rupture of the inferior rectus muscle. We report the modified Nishida's procedure combined with medial rectus muscle recession for the treatment of esotropia in unilateral Duane syndrome associated with Goldenhar syndrome. Following the surgery and over a 1-year follow-up period, the patient was orthophoric at distance and near, abduction improved, and the abnormal head position resolved.
