Palsy was secondary to a neoplasm in 3 cases and to head trauma in 2. In 2 cases, it was ischemic, in 2 it was congenital; the remaining cases were iatrogenic (hydrocephalus secondary to meningitis, 1), hemorrhagic ( 1 ), and idiopathic ( 1 ). The clinical manifestations recorded were diplopia ( 10 ), anomalous head posture ( 9 ), V pattern ( 12 ), subjective excyclotorsion ( 8 ), and objective excyclotorsion ( 6 ). Recovery was spontaneous in 1 case with neoplastic disease. Botox was injected in 8 cases (inferior oblique and\/or inferior rectus muscles [successful in 2]), and subsequent surgery was required in 6. Two patients underwent surgery without prior injection of Botox. The most common surgical technique was recession of the inferior oblique muscle (6 patients), either as the only operation or associated with other procedures. The final result was good in 72.72% (8\/11). Mean follow-up was 62.6 months (range 9-99 months).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Causes of BSOP were varied (most frequently neoplastic).
