We experienced pulled-in-two syndrome in a case with severe myopic strabismus fixus and achieved a good outcome by performing additional surgery 3 months later, in which the lost MR muscle was advanced. This case underscores that, if the lost muscle cannot be found during surgery, one should maintain composure and perform a reoperation a few months after the initial surgery, if necessary. This case report can aid in making rescue treatment decisions when pulled-in-two syndrome occurs.
