Abstract
A 50-year-old man presented with marked left hypotropia due to double elevator palsy. Upward movement of his left eye was restricted completely. The patient had undergone a muscle transposition procedure without tenotomy or muscle splitting; recession of the inferior rectus muscle was also performed. Postoperatively, hypotropia was reduced and improved upward movement of his left eye. Muscle transposition without tenotomy or tendon-splitting is a surgical option for this unusual abnormality.
