RESUMO
A 29-year-old female suffering from Crouzon's disease was admitted to hospital with retinal detachment in the right eye. At operation agenesis of 4 extraocular muscles (superior and inferior recti and obliquus) was found, together with abnormal insertion of the 2 horizontal muscles. The same extraocular muscular abnormalities were found in the left eye. We suggest here a new surgical treatment in such cases and discuss the reasons for the limitation of ocular motility in such cases.
