[Syndrome of the superior oblique muscle rigidity: clinico-anatomical aspects and results of treatment of 8 patients].

: Tenectomy of the superior oblique muscle resulted in complete disappearance of Brown's syndrome in 7 out of 8 children operated on. In view of this, it can be a method of choice in treatment of the syndrome. There was the first clinical case of an additional abnormal attachment of the superior oblique muscle tendon to the sclera. In another patient an abnormal marked vascularization of the tendon identified histologically had the appearance of a muscular structure at the site of the tendon seen at the operation.
