Abstract
After pterional craniotomy, ptosis, diplopia, and vertical gaze limitation can result from tethering of the superior rectus-levator palpebrae superioris complex to the surgical defect in the orbital roof. Lateral rectus function sometimes is compromised by muscle attachment to the lateral orbital osteotomy. This syndrome occurs in approximately 1% of patients after removal of the orbital roof and can be treated, if necessary, by prism glasses or surgery.
