Brown Syndrome
Brown syndrome was first described by Dr. Harold W. Brown who originally described it as 'Superior Oblique Tendon Sheath syndrome'. Calling this a 'syndrome' is a misnomer in that the problem is isolated to the eye specifically the superior oblique muscle/tendon and the trochlea. It is a mechanical problem where the superior oblique muscle/tendon is unable to freely pass through the trochlea and becomes restricted.
