Abstract
SUMMARY: An 8-month-old boy with Gorlin syndrome presented with a large right-face turn and constant exotropia of the left eye. Eight-millimeter recession of the left lateral rectus muscle was performed at 23 months of age without complete postoperative improvement. Orbital imaging revealed bilateral anomalous extraocular muscles inferolateral to the optic nerves. Surgical resection of the tissue confirmed the accessory musculature with postoperative correction of the strabismus. To our knowledge, this appears to be the first reported case in the radiologic literature.Keywords
