Rectus muscle pseudo-adherence syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe a clinical entity called "rectus muscle pseudo-adherence syndrome" following buckling surgery.

Methods

A retrospective data review was undertaken to analyze the clinical profile of strabismus patients who had developed it following buckling surgery. Between 2017 and 2021, a total of 14 patients were identified. The demography, surgical details, and intraoperative challenges were reviewed.

Results

The average age of the 14 patients was 21.71 ± 5.23 years. The mean pre-op deviation was 42.35 ± 14.35 prism diopters (PD) of exotropia, and the mean post-op deviation was 8.25 ± 4.88 PD of residual exotropia at 26.16 ± 19.53 months follow-up. Intraoperatively, in the absence of a buckle, the thinned-out rectus adhered to the underlying sclera with much de
