  • Title: Extraocular muscle surgery in the presence of complete paralysis of the fifth, sixth and seventh cranial nerves.
    Author: Zehl DN, Snell AC.
    Journal: J Pediatr Ophthalmol; 1977; 14(2):76-8. PubMed ID: 195033.
    Abstract:
    A nine-year-old boy developed paralytic left esotropia secondary to an intracranial lesion. He also exhibited total loss of function of the left fifth and seventh cranial nerves. Extraocular muscle surgery in this situation was felt to be dangerous to the operated eye. The degree of risk however could not be determined from published reports. Surgery was performed and was complicated by severe corneal ulceration. Use of a therapeutic contact lens presumedly helped in finally achieving a satisfactory result.
