Bilateral Brown Syndrome

Bilateral Brown Syndrome
Brown syndrome is defined as a deficit of elevation in adduction. It may occur unilaterally (90%) or bilaterally (10%). This girl has a severe bilateral congenital Brown syndrome. There is a 30 degree upward tilt of the chin. She is orthophoric in downgaze (not shown). There is no rotation of the head as the condition is bilateral. The best treatment option is surgical management with bilateral tenotomy of the superior oblique muscle.
