Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to report our clinical observations and the results of the surgical treatment of patients with vertical retraction syndrome (VRS).Methods: Medical records were analyzed retrospectively and 5 patients with VRS were included in this study. A detailed ophthalmological examination and an orthoptic exam were performed. Superior rectus recession was performed in all cases and all of the patients were followed for at least 6 months.Results: Analysis indicated that the mean patient age was 26.8 years. (min-max: 4-65 years). There were 3 females and 2 males in the group. Family history of a similar condition was positive in 2 patients. All of the patients had orthophoria following surgical treatment.Conclusion: VRS is a rare, special form of retraction syndrome in which eye movement is limited by a fibrous band. Imaging was important to the surgical approach used in this group of patients to successfully treat the syndrome
