Abstract

A 53-year-old woman presented with diplopia and deviation of the left eye for the past 3 years. She had non-resolving isolated left lateral rectus palsy. She underwent a medial rectus recession and Hummelsheim (Wright's modification) procedure in her left eye. Postoperatively, the anterior segment ischemia resolved with steroids.
