Strabismus fixus convergens is a condition in which both eyes become fixed in extreme adduction. It can be congenital or acquired. We report a case of strabismus fixus convergens in a high myope with primary amyloidosis localized to the lateral rectus muscle. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of strabismus fixus convergens secondary to amyloidosis.

Strabismus fixus is a rare condition and usually is of convergent type in which one or both eyes are anchored in a position of extreme adduction. Convergent type strabismus fixus is considered to be a congenital disorder and a part of congenital extraocular muscle fibrosis syndrome. Villasecca and Martinez described an acquired type of strabismus fixus. Hayashi et al reported that progressive esotropia could develop into the acquired type of convergent strabismus fixus. There are very few reports of divergent strabismus fixus in the literature. It may or may not be accompanied by ptosis or generalized extraocular muscle fibrosis. In our report, a case of divergent type strabismus fixus is described and discussed.

Strabismus fixus is very rare and the convergent form is rarely accompanied by blepharoptosis. We successfully treated one patient with high myopia whose convergent strabismus fixus, accompanied by blepharoptosis, became severe after cataract surgery. We report the case with a discussion of its pathology. We performed levator advancement operation, bilateral lateral rectus 11 mm resection, and bilateral medial rectus 8 mm recession. The suture was removed after maintaining temporary traction suture for 6 days. Blepharoptosis was completely corrected by postoperative 2 months. Esodeviation was 15PD, which was not increased compared with immediately after surgery. Satisfactory cosmetic outcome was obtained.
