Abstract

For the 6th nerve paralysis, we use the procedure described by Jensen combined with a 6-7mm recession of the madial rectus muscle. But, anterior segment ischemia(ASI) is an occasional complication of this surgery in which over three rectus muscles are partially or completely detached, ligated. The authors performed this modified Jensen procedure to the patient of 6th nerve paralysis, in which anterior ciliary arteries of vertical rectus muscles were separated from the muscles under the operating microscope and then ligated muscles only. So, this modified procedure preserve the integrity of the anterior ciliary arteries in those portions of the vertical muscles not involved in the muscle union to avoid the danger of anterior segment ischemia.
