A CASE REORT OF BROWNS SYNDROME

ESAIVANI .

Abstract


Browns syndrome is a restrictive myopathy involving the tendon of superior oblique muscle due to abnormalities in the tendon trochlea complex. It may be either congenital or acquired. Here is a case report of a eleven year old girl child who presented with complaints of double vision on upgaze for six months. She had normal anterior and   posterior segment findings except for restriction of few extra ocular movements in the left eye with a characteristic chin lift. She was diagnosed to be a case of Browns syndrome on the basis of clinical features and investigations. She was treated with prisms that corrected her diplopia and abnormal head posture.
