Surgical management of large angle congenital esotropia.
Ninety-seven patients with congenital esotropia with deviations of 50 prism dioptres or greater underwent large (6 and 7 mm) bimedial rectus recessions. The overall success rate with one operation was 83.5%. Judgment of final alignment was made at the last follow-up examination, six to 61 months (average 23.4 months) postoperatively. Large bimedial rectus recessions for congenital esotropia are...
متن کاملA prospective study of alternating occlusion prior to surgical alignment for infantile esotropia: one-year postoperative motor results.

This report presents the data for 44 patients prospectively enrolled by random assignment to an alternating occlusion or no occlusion subgroup followed for 1 year postoperatively.

متن کاملAssociations between Infant Feeding Practice Prior to Six Months and Body Mass Index at Six Years of Age

The aim was to assess the associations between infant feeding practice in early infancy and body mass index (BMI) at 6 years of age. Icelandic infants (n = 154) were prospectively followed from birth to 12 months and aga...

Nelson: We’re going to discuss when to treat congenital esotropia. A 6-month-old child comes into your office with an esotropia of 65 prism diopters, alternate fixation, and a cycloplegic refraction of +2.50. Dr. Morrison, what is your treatment plan? Morrison: A child who’s clearly alternating fixation has a large angle of deviation that I assume to be an infantile strabismus. My cutoff for pr...
متن کاملResults of surgery for congenital esotropia.
INTRODUCTION Congenital esotropia is a convergent deviation of the eyes when fixating on an object. It appears during the first six months of life and affects muscle structure and physiology, as well as the relation of the eyes with the environment, retinal relations and neural integration phenomena. Amblyopia develops in 30-50% of those affected. Timely surgery is effective in most cases. OB...
