Orbital Fibrotic Band as Cause of Monocular Elevation Deficiency.

Monocular elevation deficiency is a congenital, unilateral inability of elevation. It is classified as innervational, restrictive, or combine types. Here, we report a rare case of monocular elevation deficiency who had 60 PD left hypotropia and left ptosis with limited elevation (-5) both on abduction and adduction. Orbital MRI revealed a hypointense fibrotic band between the superior oblique and superior rectus muscles extending obliquely in the superonasal direction between the sclera and orbital roof. She was successfully treated after severing the fibrotic band between the sclera and bony orbit.
