Abstract
Silver-Russell Syndrome (SRS) is a rare disorder associated with prenatal and postnatal growth retardation with associated characteristic facial and ocular features including strabismus. We report the outcome of strabismus surgery performed for exotropia in a 4-year-old patient with SRS. The patient presented with decreased visual acuity and constant exotropia of the right eye noted since 3 months of age. Systemic SRS characteristics consisted of relative macrocephaly, short stature, forehead prominence and stunted growth pattern. An X-pattern exotropia is consistent with bilateral tight lateral recti muscles with over-elevation in adduction of the left eye was present. Patient underwent unilateral right lateral rectus recession and right medial rectus resection for a 50-prism diopter constant exotropia. Patient had a favorable outcome of within 8 prism diopters from orthotropia at 1st, 3rd-, 6th- and 12th-month post-operatively.
