[Strabismus surgery and anterior segment ischemia syndrome].

The review summarizes the results of studies related to ischemia of the anterior segment of the eye after surgeries on straight extraocular muscles for strabismus and presents classification, clinical manifestations and risk factors for the development of the syndrome. The principal prevention measures for the clinically significant syndrome are focused on limiting the extent of surgical intervention: in the presence of risk factors and the need for intervention on more than two muscles - staged surgical treatment (i.e. ensuring a time interval between surgeries) that allows collateral circulation to form properly.
