Abstract

The superior oblique muscle is a fusiform muscle on the upper, medial side of the globe whose primary action is downward, lateral rotation of the eye. This muscle is innervated by the trochlear nerve. The primary action of the superior oblique muscle is intorsion, the secondary action is depression. Surgery on superioroblique muscle is indicated in inferior oblique palsy, Brown’s syndrome, skew deviation, and strabismus deorsoadductorius. There are two approaches to expose the superior oblique muscle—either nasal or temporal to the superior rectusmuscle. There areprocedures for weakeningsuperior oblique and strengthening of the superior oblique muscle. Complications of superior oblique surgery are injury to vortex vein, upper lid edema and ptosis, Iatrogenic Brown’s syndrome.
