Keerthana Soundararajan And Shashikant S .

Abstract


A 33 year old female presented to us with squinting of left eye since birth. On examination patient had large angle hypertropia with exotropia in left eye which was a diagnostic challenge. Imaging showed reduction in volume of inferior rectus muscle in left eye. Intraoperatively inferior rectus   muscle was found to be absent. The surgical correction   resulted in excellent alignment in primary position. Hence high index of suspicion is required to consider inferior rectus    aplasia.  This case is presented for its rarity and surgical  expertise to achieve the best possible outcome.
