Inferior rectus transposition as a secondary surgery in patients with acquired abducens nerve palsy

We report the outcomes in 2 patients with acquired abducens nerve palsy with residual esotropia following superior rectus transposition and medial rectus recession who subsequently underwent inferior rectus transposition as a second procedure. Both patients showed improved abduction and reduced esotropia, with no induced cyclotorsion or vertical deviation. Inferior rectus transposition as a secondary procedure in these 2 patients with abducens nerve palsy appeared to augment the effect of prior superior rectus transposition and medial rectus recession.
