Objective  To investigate the efficacy of individualized surgical treatment on congenital superior oblique paralysis. Methods  A total of 131 patients (180 eyes) undergoing surgery for congenital superior oblique palsy between October 2015 and January 2018 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were reviewed. The clinical features, surgical methods and efficacy were analyzed. Results  Among the 131 cases, 49 cases were bilateral congenital superior oblique palsy, and 82 cases were unilateral congenital superior oblique palsy; 94 cases were combined with horizontal strabismus; 17 cases (26 eyes) underwent inferior oblique recession, 53 cases (93 eyes) underwent superior oblique tuck, 4 cases underwent superior oblique tuck combined with contralateral superior rectus resection, 37 cases underwent superior oblique tuck combined with contralateral inferior rectus recession, 6 cases underwent inferior oblique recession combined with contralateral superior rectus resection, and 14 cases underwent inferior oblique transposition combined with contralateral superior rectus resection; 18 cases underwent horizontal strabismus correction at one stage, and 76 cases underwent horizontal strabismus correction at the second stage. After Surgery, there were 116 cases cured (88.55%), 15 cases improved (11.45%), and 0 case invalid. Conclusions  The diagnosis of congenital superior oblique paralysis should be accurate. Individualized surgery should be designed according to the size and maximum orientation of the squint and the limitation or hyperactivity of the muscles in each diagnostic eye position.
