Outcomes for maximal bilateral lateral rectus recession in large-angle exotropia
Surgical treatment for large-angle exotropia can be challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate short-term surgical outcomes of patients with large-angle exotropia ( ≥50Δ) undergoing maximal bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession of 10 mm. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)

An unexpected turn: a case of torsional anomalous retinal correspondence after myectomy of previously anteriorized inferior oblique muscles in a child
We report a case of torsional diplopia caused by presumed torsional anomalous retinal correspondence after myectomy of previously asymmetrically anteriorized inferior oblique muscles for inferior oblique overaction. Given this patient ’s experience, it may be prudent to operate with caution on previously anteriorized inferior oblique muscles, especially when anteriorization is performed at a very young age.

Optic nerve compression: a rare ocular manifestation of Proteus syndrome
We report the case of a 10-year-old girl with Proteus syndrome and a constellation of ocular signs, including congenital glaucoma, myopia, amblyopia, strabismus, megaloglobus, epibulbar tumors, and right retinal detachment. A decrease in left eye visual acuity coupled with significant deterioration in visual evoked potential response over time prompted urgent neuroimaging, which revealed massive overgrowth of the sphenoid bone, with bilateral optic nerve compression due to optic canal stenosis.
