ABSTRACT
AIM: To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with acute acquired concomitant esotropia(AACE)in different refractive status.METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 110 patients with non-type I AACE treated from January 2020 to January 2022. The non-myopic group(30 cases, spherical equivalent>-0.5D)and the myopic group(80 cases, spherical equivalent≤-0.5D)were divided according to the refractive status. The degree of deviation, accommodative convergence and accommodation ratio(AC/A), visual function, and surgical methods were observed. RESULTS: The non-myopic group had no difference in the degree of near deviation [(47.13±23.54)△] and the degree of distant deviation [(48.90±22.59)△](P>0.05); near deviation [(40.49±26.09)△] of myopic group was less than distant deviation [(50.09±25.41)△](P<0.001); and there was no difference in the same distance between the two groups(P>0.05). AC/A in the non-myopic group(5.40±2.23)was higher than that in the myopic group(3.14±3.10; P<0.05). Patients in the myopic group had better near stereopsis than the non-myopic group(P<0.05). The non-myopic group had a variety of surgical methods, while the myopic group mostly used lateral rectus resection or/and medial rectus recession.CONCLUSION: AACE can occur in different refractive status. Non-myopic patients have the same degree of distant and near strabismus, high AC/A, and varied surgical methods. However, myopic patients have less degree of near deviation than distant deviation and have normal AC/A and better near stereopsis, and lateral rectus resection or/and medial rectus recession are commonly used.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To compare the efficacy of Jensen and augmented Hummelsheim procedures in the treatment of complete paralytic esotropia.METHOD: A total of 35 patients(44 eyes)who were diagnosed with complete paralytic esotropia from October 2016 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, of which 15 cases(21 eyes)underwent Jensen procedure combined with recession of antagonist muscle(Jensen procedure group), and 20 cases(23 eyes)received augmented Hummelsheim procedure combined with recession of antagonist muscle(Hummelsheim procedure group). The operation time, preoperative and postoperative esotropia deviation, degree of abduction paralysis, recession of medial rectus muscle and cure rate were observed.RESULTS: Clinical data and operation time of the patients in two groups were not statistically significant(P &#x003E;0.05). During the last follow-up, the esotropia deviation of Jensen procedure group decreased from 102.33±41.70PD to 3.93±4.82PD(P&#x003C;0.001), and it decreased from 94.75±33.03PD to 2.85±5.96PD in Hummelsheim procedure group(P&#x003C;0.001), while the degree of abduction paralysis were significantly improved from -4.81±0.40 to -1.57±0.51 in the Jensen procedure group(P&#x003C;0.001)and from -4.91±0.29 to -1.22±0.42 in Hummelsheim procedure group(P&#x003C;0.001). Besides, there was no statistical difference in postoperative esotropia deviation between the two groups(P&#x003E;0.05), but the degree of postoperative abduction paralysis in the Hummelsheim procedure group was significantly better than that of Jensen procedure group(P&#x003C;0.05). The recession of medial rectus muscle of the two groups were 7.16±2.07 and 6.37±2.34 mm, respectively(P&#x003E;0.05). During the last follow-up, in the Jensen procedure group, 2 patients were undercorrection(+10PD and +12PD respectively)and 13 cases(87%)were cured. In the Hummelsheim procedure group, 1 patient was undercorrection(+25PD)and 19 patients were cured(95%), and there was no statistical significance in cure rates of the two groups(P=0.565).CONCLUSIONS: Both Jensen procedure and augmented Hummelsheim procedure can effectively treat complete paralytic esotropia, and the latter is more effective in improving the abduction paralysis.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To compare the consistency and feasibility of objective ocular torsion measured with GMPE module-based optical coherence tomography(OCT)and fundus color photography(FCP).METHODS: Patients were enrolled in our strabismus clinic from December 2020 to March 2021, and the objective ocular torsion of the eyes was measured by both GMPE module-based OCT and FCP on the same day. FCP was used to measure the fovea-disc angle(FDA)manually by using the Adobe Photoshop software, while the GMPE module-based OCT software positioned automatically the macula and the center of the optic disc to measure the FDA.RESULTS: Fifty-five patients were included, the FDA measured by OCT was -6.6°±4.5° in the right eye and -8.8°±4.7° in the left eye, respectively; The FDA measured by FCP was -6.6°±4.7° in the right eye and -8.4°±4.1° in the left eye, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the results of the two methods(Pright eye=0.90, Pleft eye=0.08). In patients with exotropia, the FDA measured by OCT was -5.8°±4.9° in the right eye and -9.1°±4.5° in the left eye, respectively, the FDA measured by FCP was -5.7°±5.0° in the right eye and -8.6°±4.3° in the left eye, respectively,(Pright eye=0.75, Pleft eye=0.15). Similarly, the patients with esotropia, the FDA measured by OCT was -9.0°±7.3° in the right eye and -11.3°±3.5° in the left eye, respectively, while the FDA measured by FCP was -10.0°±7.0° in the right and -10.1°±2.8° in the left eye(Pright eye=0.21, Pleft eye=0.10), respectively. There were no significant differences between the two methods in patients with esotropia or exotropia(P>0.05). The results of both Pearson test and Bland-Altman analysis were highly correlated(rright eye=0.93, rleft eye=0.94, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: GMPE module-based OCT can be used for objective ocular torsion measurement with high reliability and reproducibility, and is a promising clinical alternative to the fundus color photographic method.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM:To observe the effect of inferior oblique belly transposition(IOBT)in unilateral mild inferior oblique overaction with small angle vertical stabismus.<p>METHODS: The data of patients who underwent IOBT in our hospital from September 2019 to August 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Inclusion criteria targeted patients with mild inferior oblique overaction(2+ and below)and small angle incomitant vertical strabismus(4-9PD). The horizontal deviation and vertical deviation in both primary and lateral gazes were measured, and the degree of inferior oblique overaction and fovea-disc angle(FDA)were also evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively.<p>RESULTS: A total of 16 cases(16 eyes)were included, aged 4-39 years. One case was 5a postoperative congenital esotropia with secondary unilateral inferior oblique overaction by mild superior oblique palsy, whereas 15 patients had monocular primary inferior oblique overaction with horizontal strabismus. The follow-up was 3-6mo. The mean improvement of inferior oblique overaction was 2.00(1.25, 2.00)grade from +2.00(2.00, 2.00)preoperatively to 0.00(0.00, 0.00)postoperatively, the difference was statistically significant(<i>Z</i>=-3.70, <i>P</i><0.001). The horizontal strabismus decreased from 69.13±25.86PD preoperatively to 2.75±2.59PD postoperatively(<i>t</i>= 9.929, <i>P</i><0.001). The vertical strabismus in the primary position decreased from preoperative 7.44±1.32PD to 1.00±1.21PD postoperatively(<i>t</i>=22.335, <i>P</i><0.001), mean corrected hypertropia 6.44±1.15PD, and vertical strabismus in lateral gazes decreased from preoperative 12.44±2.73PD to 3.00±2.13PD postoperatively, mean corrected hypertropia 9.44±2.73PD, these differences were statistically significant(<i>t</i>=13.819, <i>P</i><0.001). The FDA decreased from -8.85°±6.53° preoperatively to -6.49°±7.01° postoperatively, the difference was statistically significant(<i>t</i>=-2.384, <i>P</i><0.001), with a mean reduction of 2.36°. No postoperative complications such as postoperative overcorrection or inferior oblique underaction were observed.<p>CONCLUSION:IOBT is safe and effective in correcting unilateral mild inferior oblique overaction with small angle vertical strabismus.
ABSTRACT
·AlM: To investigate pathogeny and effects of surgery on paralytic strabismus. · METHODS: A retrospective study was done in 46 patients with paralytic strabismus who underwent squint correction in our hospital from June 2010 to June 2013. Among 26 horizontal strabismus, the cases of extra rectus palsy was 16, internal rectus palsy was 10.Among all20 vertical strabismus, the cases of superior oblique palsy, superior rectus palsy, inferior rectus palsy, double elevator palsy counted for 7, 8, 2 and 3, respectively. Pathogenesis: trauma was 19 cases, followed by 10 cases that the causes could not be identified.Nine was congen ital paralytic strabismus, 8 o ccurred after nose or brain surgery. The surgery methods included rectus muscle recession, rectus muscle resection, partial rectus muscle transposition, Jensen procedure, inferior oblique myectomy and anterior transposition of inferior oblique. Statistical software SPSS10.0 was used in chi-square test between two groups, while the situation of paralysis eye movements improved by two methods in the horizontal strabismus group was compared with t test. · RESULTS: Among all horizontal strabismus the rate of cure, improvement and inefficiency was 20 ( 77%) , 5 ( 19%) and 1 ( 4%) , respectively. Among vertical strabismus the ratio of cure, improvement and inefficiency was 15 (75%), 3 (15%) and 2 (10%).There was no significantly difference between the two groups ( P >0.05 ). The movements of paralytic eyes were improved. Two procedures used in horizontal strabismus, can improve paralysis eye movements were 3.76 ±0.91, 3.72 ±0.84mm, with no significant difference (P=0.93) statistically. · CONCLUSlON: Paralytic strabismus in adults had complicated conditions. Choosing different operation methods in treating paralytic strabismus according to the degree of paralysis can result in satisfactory cosmetically alignment of the eyes and modify head position and diplopia.
