Abstract
A 13-year-old male with Down syndrome, pseudophakic secondary to congenital cataract presented with esotropia. During bilateral medial rectus recession, a unilateral two-bellied right medial rectus was identified and recessed successfully with complete resolution of the deviation. Clinicians facing a two-bellied medial rectus can consider continuing with their surgical plan.
