To study the effect of adding inferior rectus recession to inferior oblique recession for correction of esotropia and large V-pattern in cases presented with small angle esotropia in primary position. Methods: Four patients aged from eight months to three years. Their orthoptic evaluation revealed esotropia in primary position varied from 12 to20 prism diopter, large V-pattern with bilateral hypertropia. There were bilateral inferior oblique over action from +3 to +4 and bilateral fallen eyes in down lateral gazes. Fundi showed extorsion. Cycloplegic refractions did not show error more than + 3.5 diopter. Results: Disappearance of esotropia in primary position, no significant pattern, absence of bilateral hypertropia and inferior oblique over action, no fallen eyes. Conclusion: Adding bilateral inferior rectus recession will correct the bilateral fallen eyes, the large V-pattern and fortunately it will correct the small angle esotropia in primary position in cases presented with V-pattern esotropia.
