Making sense of the orthoptic assessment
Following the Specialty Trainee article on this topic in the February/March 2020 issue, Joe Smith provides a more detailed breakdown of the orthoptic report. Orthoptists investigate, diagnose and manage a wide variety of patients with varying problems. In this article,...
Treatment of IIIcnp
The authors report the surgical treatment of a 15-year old with congenital III nerve palsy. The child had a deviation of 50PD exotropia and a -6 limitation of adduction, -3 limitation of elevation and -4 limitation of depression. Surgery consisted...
Syndromic V-pattern management
The authors document their experience in the management of four cases of Crouzon syndrome and review the anatomical extraocular muscle anomalies noted during surgery. Horizontal strabismus surgery varied in each of the four cases according to individual extraocular muscle abnormalities...
Consecutive exotropia features
This study sought to detect abnormal scleral attachment with comparison of histopathological findings in consecutive exotropia. The study also considered the success rate of medial rectus resection and advancement, dose response and evaluate potential preoperative factors that might indicate presence...
Surgery for third nerve palsy (2019)
The authors present a new technique for split muscle medial transposition surgery of the lateral rectus plus union with the distal split stump of the medial rectus. This increases the length of the contracted lateral rectus through the addition of...
Improved suppression after surgery for intermittent exotropia
This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors associated with the recovery from suppression, with successful postoperative target motor alignment in 237 patients with intermittent exotropia. Mean age at surgery was 8.2 ±3.2 years and 48.5% were male. Preoperative angle...
BT for retinal detachment strabismus (2020)
The authors report updated experience on factors influencing botulinum toxin (BT) outcomes for strabismus following retinal detachment surgery. This was a retrospective review of 32 patients with follow-up of 20 months (1-132). Mean age at BT injection was 44 years...
Impact of surgery for intermittent exotropia on the health-related quality of life of the child and parent
The authors present the analysis of the Intermittent Exotropia Questionnaire (IXTQ) completed by children and a parent in a previously reported randomised controlled trial comparing two surgical procedures. Children aged >5 years completed the Child IXTQ, and all parents completed...
Bimedial resection surgery dose-response
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dose-response relationship for primary bilateral medial rectus (MR) resection in 49 children with exotropia. Fifty-seven percent of children were male and mean age at surgery was 6.7 ±5.3 years. Mean preoperative...
Bilateral versus unilateral recession outcomes for intermittent exotropia
The aim of this study was to compare surgical motor and sensory outcomes of unilateral versus bilateral lateral rectus recessions in children with small angle intermittent exotropia. This was a retrospective study of 55 patients; 28 bilateral and 27 unilateral...
Randomised controlled trial for large-angle exotropia surgery
The purpose of this study was to investigate single eye, single setting surgical options to correct 80–90PD of exotropia with two options of muscle transplant and suture hang-back recession. There was retention of anatomical limits of 6mm resection for medial...
