ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar um novo tipo de gancho muscular (gancho milimetrado de Felício) e sua eficácia em cirurgias de estrabismo. Métodos: Buscando uma abordagem independente, com a mínima participação do auxiliar, o novo instrumento foi usado em cirurgias de retrocesso e ressecção, para comparar sua eficácia e segurança com a técnica tradicional. Participaram do estudo 14 pacientes divididos em dois grupos. Resultados: O grupo operado por meio da técnica tradicional teve média de idade foi de 14,7 anos, e o grupo que usou o novo gancho teve média de 17 anos. Ambos os grupos obtiveram redução semelhante do estrabismo inicial, sendo, em média, de 87,84% no grupo tradicional e de 93,04% com o novo gancho, porém sem relevância estatística (p=0,274). Conclusão: O gancho milimetrado de Felício mostrou-se opção útil ao cirurgião na realização da cirurgia de estrabismo com redução da importância do auxiliar, de forma segura e reprodutível.


ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate a new type of muscle hook (Felício's millimeter hook) and its effectiveness in strabismus surgeries. Methods: Seeking an independent approach, with minimal assistance from the assistant, the new instrument was used in retrocession and resection surgeries, to compare its efficacy and safety with the traditional technique. Results: 14 patients participated in the study, divided into two groups. The group who underwent surgery with the traditional technique had a mean age of 14.7 years and the group using the new hook, 17 years. Both groups obtained a similar reduction in initial strabismus, with an average of 87.84% in the traditional group and 93.04% with the new hook, but without statistically significant difference (p=0.274). Conclusion: Felicio's millimeter hook proved to be a useful option for the surgeon in performing strabismus surgery with a reduction in the importance of the assistant, in a safe and reproducible way.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La deficiencia monocular de la elevación se define como la limitación de la elevación del ojo afectado desde cualquier posición de la mirada, con ducciones normales en todas las demás posiciones. La pseudoptosis se puede presentar en posición primaria de la mirada; sin embargo, el 25 por ciento de los casos puede mostrar una ptosis verdadera. Se presenta un paciente masculino de 11 años de edad con antecedentes de estrabismo hacia adentro desde que nació, quien llevó tratamiento con oclusiones y cristales desde el primer año de edad. Al examen oftalmológico presentaba una agudeza visual mejor corregida de 1,0/0,4; a 6 metros en el ojo derecho 30 ∆ b externa ~18 ∆ b superior y en el ojo izquierdo 30 ∆ b externa ~18 ∆ b inferior; a 33 centímetros en el ojo derecho 30 ∆ b externa ~25 ∆ b superior y en el ojo izquierdo 30 ∆ b externa ~25 ∆ b inferior y limitación de la elevación en todas las posiciones horizontales de la mirada en el ojo derecho. Se realizó la prueba de ducción forzada y se encontró una restricción del recto inferior derecho, por lo que se decidió retroinsertar este músculo y ambos rectos medios. Se indicó la corrección óptica y la rehabilitación con oclusiones que mejoró la visión a 1,0/0,7. La cirugía correctiva logró la ortotropía y la mejoría de la agudeza visual(AU)


ABSTRACT Monocular elevation deficiency is defined as a limitation in the elevation of the affected eye from any position of gaze with normal ductions in all other positions. Pseudoptosis may occur in the primary position of gaze, but 25 percent of the cases are true ptosis. A case is presented of a male 11-year-old patient with a history of inward strabismus since birth, treated with occlusions and lenses as of his first year of life. At ophthalmological examination, best corrected visual acuity was 1.0/0.4; at 6 meters in the right eye 30 ∆ b outer ~18 ∆ b upper, and in the left eye 30 ∆ b outer ~18 ∆ b lower; at 33 centimeters in the right eye 30 ∆ b outer ~25 ∆ b upper, and in the left eye 30 ∆ b outer ~25 ∆ b lower, and elevation limitation in all horizontal gaze positions of the right eye. The forced duction test revealed a restriction in the lower right rectus muscle. It was thus decided to insert back the right rectus muscle and both medial rectus muscles. Optical correction and rehabilitation with occlusions improved the patient's vision to 1.0/0.7. Corrective surgery achieved orthotropy and improved visual acuity(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the results of the surgical technique described by Crouch in the correction of lateral rectal paralysis (LR) esotropia. Methods: A study conducted of six patients with VI cranial nerve palsy, with more than three months, and associated contracture of the medial rectus muscle. The causes of paralysis varied in traumatic, congenital and neuropathic. The patients underwent surgical correction, performed with a technique consisting of the instillation of the superior rectus muscle (SR) and its suture above the insertion of the LR muscle, completed with Foster´s suture (suture joining, 8mm of the muscle insertion, the body of the SR and LR). The patients were followed for six months. Results: Five patients presented preoperative deviation between 30 and 50 prismatic diopter (PD), and one patient presented a deviation greater than 100 PD, and therefore, the patient required surgical reintervention due to residual deviation. The other five patients presented postoperative orthoppy, with better visual acuity and no vertical deviations. Conclusion: The surgery proposed by Crouch has been shown to be a good alternative to conventional techniques, such as Carlson-Jampolsky surgery, being a technically simpler procedure with good results.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar resultados da técnica cirúrgica descrita por Crouch na correção de esotropia por paralisia do reto lateral (RL). Métodos: Estudo realizado com seis pacientes diagnosticados com paralisia de IV par craniano, com mais de três meses, e com contratura associada do musculo reto medial. As causas da paralisia variaram em traumática, congênita e neuropática. Os pacientes foram submetidos à correção cirúrgica, realizada com técnica que consiste na desinserção do músculo reto superior (RS) e sua sutura acima da inserção do músculo RL, completada com ponto de Foster (sutura unindo, a 8mm da inserção muscular, o corpo do RS e RL). Os pacientes foram seguidos por seis meses. Resultados: Cinco pacientes apresentaram, no pré-operatório, desvio entre 30 e 50 dioptrias prismáticas (DP), e um paciente apresentava desvio maior que 100DP, sendo, portanto o paciente que necessitou de reintervenção cirúrgica, por desvio residual. Os outros cinco pacientes apresentaram ortotropia no pós-operatório, com melhor da acuidade visual e sem desvios verticais. Conclusão: A cirurgia proposta por Crouch demostrou-se uma boa alternativa às técnicas convencionais, como cirurgia de Carlson-Jampolsky, sendo um procedimento tecnicamente mais simples e com bons resultados.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O presente trabalho relata o caso de um paciente, masculino, 38 anos, com estrabismo incomitante e consequente diplopia, submetido à cirurgia debilitadora com recuo e fortalecimento com ressecção do músculo reto inferior direito. O objetivo desta técnica cirúrgica é a correção do desvio em sua posição de maior incomitância, sem prejudicar o alinhamento ocular na posição primária do olhar (PPO). O resultado satisfatório, em concordância com os dados da literatura atual, contribui para fazer desta técnica uma opção no tratamento de estrabismos incomitantes de difícil manejo.


Abstract The present study reports a case of a patient, 38-year-old man, with incomitant strabismus and consequent diplopia, submitted to debilitating surgery with recession and strengthening resection of the right inferior rectus muscle. This surgical technique aims to correct the deviation in its greater incomitence position, without impairing the ocular alignment in the primary position of the eye (PPO). The satisfactory result, in agreement with data of current literature, contributes to make this technique an option in the treatment of challenging incomitant strabismus.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Introdução: A dificuldade na obtenção de resultados previsíveis é um grande desafio atual da cirurgia corretiva de estrabismo. Os resultados não desejados podem ocorrer em cerca de 51% dos procedimentos e a dificuldade pode ser devida ao fato da cirurgia ser realizada sobre tecidos perioculares bastante moles e com difícil referência para a localização anatômicas das estruturas. Objetivo: Identificar e analisar as principais causas responsáveis por reoperações nos usuários submetidos à cirurgia corretiva de estrabismo, atendidos no Centro de Oftalmológico do HUUFMA, em São Luís-MA. Métodos: Estudo do tipo pesquisa documental retrospectiva dos registros institucionais, por meio da coleta de dados dos prontuários físicos e eletrônicos no sistema ambulatorial interno do HUUFMA. Resultados: A taxa de reoperação analisada foi de 7,31%. Foram operados 89 pacientes menores de 15 anos (72,35%), 23 na faixa de 15 a 30 anos (18,69%) e 11 pacientes maiores de 30 anos (8,94%). A média da idade dos 123 operados foi de 10,32 anos. O sexo feminino foi prevalente na população (58,53%). Conclusão: O desvio Esotrópico (ET) foi o tipo de desvio mais comum no grupo de reoperados. Os resultados inesperados e os maiores desvios foram nos pacientes com relatos de comorbidades e/ou síndromes associadas ao estrabismo, assim como o desvio horizontal congênito (Dhc) foi prevalente entre as queixas apresentadas. A anestesia geral foi mais relatada em pacientes de menor faixa etária. O tempo médio decorrido entre a primeira e a segunda cirurgia foi de 10,54 meses e houve relativa prevalência das subcorreções nas reoperações.


ABSTRACT Introduction: The difficulty in obtaining predictable results is a great challenge on the strabismus surgery field. Procedures can lead to an undesirable development in about 51% of patients, and this difficulty may be due to surgery being perfomed on soft periocular tissues in which anatomical structure can be tricky to locate. Objective: Identify and analyse the main causes of reoperation on strabismus surgery patients treated at Centro Oftamológico do HUUFMA, in São Luís-MA. Methods: A retrospective documental research based on institutional registries, through data collection from physical and eletronic patient records of HUUFMA's ambulatorial internal system. Results: The analysed reoperation rates were in about 7,31%. 89 patients under 15-year-old (72,35%), 23 patients aged between 15 to 30 (18,69%), and 11 patients over the age of 30 (8,94%) were submitted to surgery, with total number of 123 patients and mean age of 10,32 years. Female patients have prevailed in the population (58,53%). Conclusion: Esotropic deviation was the most common deviation in the reoperated group. The unexpected results and greatest deviations occurred on patients with reported comorbidities and/or syndromes associated with strabismus, such as dissociated horizontal deviation (DHD), which was prevalent among the presented complaints. General anesthesia was most reported in lower age patients. The average time elapsed between the first and the second procedure was 10,54 months, and a relative prevalence of the undercorrections occurred on reoperations procedures.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To conduct a 10-year follow-up on the surgical correction of large-angle esotropia using monocular surgery, verifying surgical stability over time in both adults and children, and investigating the presence of consecutive exotropia among reviewed patients. Methods: The angles of deviation in primary position were measured using prism cover testing in patients with good vision in both eyes and the Krimsky method in those with severe amblyopia. Among the 46 patients who underwent surgery, 40 were evaluated 10 years post-surgery. Student's t-test and McNemar's test were used for statistical analyses. Results: No significant differences in the angles of deviation in primary position were found between measurements taken 6 months and 10 years post-surgery (p=0.922), as well as between children and adults (p=0.767). Among the 40 reviewed patients, only five presented with exotropia, all of which were small (the largest being XT 15Δ). Therefore, large consecutive exotropia over time was not observed. Conclusion: Our results suggest that monocular surgery to correct large-angle esotropia using large medial rectus recessions and broad lateral rectus resections was viable and safe in both adults and children over short and long terms.


RESUMO Objetivo: Conduzir um acompanhamento de 10 anos de correção cirúrgica de esotropias de grande ângulo com cirurgia monocular, verificando a estabilidade cirúrgica ao longo do tempo em adultos e crianças, investigando a presença de exotropias consecutivas entre os pacientes revisados. Métodos: Os ângulos de desvio em posição primária foram medidos usando teste de cobertura prismática em pacientes com boa visão em ambos os olhos e o método de Krimsky naqueles com ambliopia severa. Entre os 46 pacientes operados, 40 foram avaliados 10 anos após a cirurgia. O teste t-Student e o de McNemar foram usados para análises estatísticas. Resultados: Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas nos ângulos de desvio em posição primária entre as medidas realizadas 6 meses e 10 anos pós-operatórios (p=0,922, assim como entre crianças e adultos (p=0,767). Entre os 40 pacientes revisados, apenas cinco apresentaram exotropias, todas pequenas (sendo o maior XT 15Δ). Portanto grandes exotropias consecutivas ao longo do tempo não foram observadas. Conclusão: Nossos resultados sugerem que a cirurgia monocular para corrigir a esotropias de grande ângulo usando amplos recuos do reto medial e grandes ressecções do reto lateral foi viável e segura tanto em adultos quanto em crianças em curto como a longo prazo.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: comparar los resultados motores y sensoriales de los pacientes con esotropía residual tratados con toxina botulínica A con el grupo que recibe cirugía convencional. Métodos: se realizó un estudio experimental (analítico), longitudinal y prospectivo en 27 pacientes que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión: esotropía residual de 20 a 30 dioptrías independientemente de la edad. Se analizaron las siguientes variables: edad, sexo, diagnóstico previo, tipo de cirugía previa, número de inyección de toxina botulínica A empleada o cirugía realizada en la reintervención, efectos secundarios, complicaciones, ángulo de desviación, fusión y estereopsis preoperatorio y posoperatorio al año. Se consideró éxito quirúrgico la desviación postratamiento igual o menor de 10 dioptrías prismáticas. Resultados: el ángulo de desviación preoperatorio promedio del grupo toxina botulínica A fue de 24,0 ± 1,2 dioptrías y el de cirugía convencional de 25,8 ± 1,1, en oposición con el ángulo de desviación posoperatorio promedio, donde hallamos diferencias significativas (p= 0,003) entre ambos grupos (10,3 ± 1,1 versus 6,0 ± 0,80). El 64,3 por ciento, del grupo de toxina botulínica A y el 92,3 por ciento de cirugía convencional obtuvieron éxito quirúrgico. No se encontraron diferencias significativas ( p= 0,165). Se encontró ptosis palpebral como efecto secundario en el grupo toxina botulínica A y ninguna complicación en ningún grupo. El 44,4 por ciento de los pacientes obtuvo fusión postratamiento pero ninguno alcanzó estereopsis(AU) Conclusiones: en las esotropías residuales de 20 a 30 dioptrías prismáticas tratadas con toxina botulínica se obtienen resultados motores y sensoriales similares al del grupo de cirugía convencional


Objective: to compare the motor and sensory results of patients with residual esotropia, who were treated with botulinum toxin A, and of a group undergoing conventional surgery. Methods: a prospective, longitudinal and experimental (analytical) study was conducted in 27 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria: residual esotropia from 20 to 30 dioptries independently of the age. The following variables were analyzed: age, sex, previous diagnosis, type of previous surgery, number of injection of botulinum toxin A applied or type of surgery performed in the reintervención, secondary effects, complications, deviation angle, coalition and preoperative and postoperative estereopsis to the year. It was considered surgical success the deviation same post-treatment or smaller than 10 prismatic dioptries. Results: the angle of preoperative deviation average of the group toxin botulínica A was of 24,0 ± 1,2 dioptres and the one of conventional surgery of 25,8 ± 1,1, in opposition with the angle of posoperative deviation average, where find significant differences ( p= 0,003) between both groups (10,3 ± 1,1 versus 6,0 ± 0,80). The 64,3 percent of the group of toxin botulínica A and the 92,3 percent of conventional surgery obtained surgical success. Significant differences were not find (p= 0,165). Palpebral ptosis was found as secondary effect in the group toxin botulínica A, and any complication in any group. The 44,4 percent of the patients obtained post-treatment fusion but any reached to estereopsis(AU) Conclusions: the residual esotropias of 20 to 30 prismatic dioptres treated with toxin botulínica shows resulted engines and sensory similar to the group of conventional surgery

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: describir los resultados quirúrgicos y la obtención de fusión y estereopsia en operados de esotropía congénita, después de cuatro años de seguimiento y su relación con el ángulo de desviación preoperatorio y la edad al momento de la primera cirugía. Métodos: estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo de una serie de casos, operados de esotropía congénita desde el año 2007 al 2010, seguidos durante cuatro años por consulta en el Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer. Se analizaron las variables edad al diagnóstico, ángulo de desviación preoperatorio y posoperatorio, edad al momento de la primera cirugía, presencia de fusión, estereopsia y desarrollo de ambliopía. Resultados: el ángulo de desviación preoperatorio promedio de los pacientes estudiados fue de 39,8 dioptrías y la media de la edad al momento de la primera cirugía fue 22,5 meses (DE 9,2). La media de supervivencia del alineamiento ocular fue de 39,3 meses, y fue superior en los pacientes con un ángulo de desviación preoperatorio menor de 40 dioptrías y con menos de 24 meses de edad al momento de la primera cirugía (p= 0,001). Presentaban fusión y estereopsia a los 4 años el 57,7 y el 26,9 por ciento de los pacientes. La media del número de cirugía fue de 1,42 (DE ± 0,504) a los 4 años. La causa más frecuente de segunda cirugía fue la hiperfunción del oblicuo inferior (19,2 por ciento). Conclusiones: la presencia de fusión y de estereopsia a los 4 años de evolución es mayor en aquellos pacientes con menor ángulo de desviación preoperatoria y con menos de 2 años de edad a la primera cirugía(AU)

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Myelomeningocele is one of the most common birth defects. It is associated with severe neurological deficiencies, and ocular changes, such as strabismus, are very common. The purpose of this study was to describe indications for strabismus surgery in patients with myelomeningocele and to evaluate the results achieved with surgical correction. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of all patients with myelomeningocele who underwent surgery for strabismus correction in a 5-year period in an institution for disabled children. Results: The main indications for strabismus surgery were esotropia and A-pattern anisotropia. Excellent surgical results were achieved in 60.9% of patients, satisfactory in 12.2%, and unsatisfactory in 26.9%. Conclusion: Patients with myelomeningocele and strabismus had a high incidence of esotropia and A-pattern anisotropia. Strabismus surgery in these patients had an elevated percentage of excellent and satisfactory results, not only for the ocular deviation, but also for improvement of head posture. .


Objetivo: A mielomeningocele é um dos mais frequentes defeitos do nascimento e está associada a disfunções neurológicas severas. Alterações oculares como estrabismo são muito comuns nesses pacientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever as principais indicações de cirurgia de estrabismo em pacientes com mielomeningocele e avaliar os resultados atingidos com a correção cirúrgica. Métodos: Foi realizado estudo restrospectivo com revisão de prontuários de todos os pacientes com mielomeningocele submetidos à cirurgia para correção de estrabismo em um período de 5 anos em uma instituição de assistência a crianças deficientes. Resultados: As principais indicações para cirurgia de estrabismo foram esotropia e anisotropia com padrão em A. Resultados cirúrgicos excelentes foram alcançados em 60,9% dos pacientes, satisfatórios em 12,2% e insatisfatórios em 26,9%. Conclusão: Pacientes com mielomeningocele e estrabismo têm uma alta incidência de esotropia e anisotropia com padrão em A. A cirurgia de estrabismo nesta população teve uma elevada porcentagem de resultados excelentes e satisfatórios, não somente em relação ao desvio ocular, mas também na melhora na posição viciosa de cabeça .

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: determinar los factores de riesgos que influyen en la no obtención de visión binocular en los pacientes operados de esotropía congénita. Métodos: estudio de serie de casos en pacientes operados de esotropía congénita en el Servicio de Oftalmología Pediátrica del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer, en el período comprendido de enero de 2007 a mayo de 2010. Se analizaron las variables siguientes: fusión, estereopsis, edad quirúrgica, estabilidad del alineamiento ocular, número de cirugías, ambliopía y defecto refractivo.Resultados: el 57,7 por ciento de los pacientes alcanzó fusión y el 30,8 por ciento logró estereopsia, en un rango de 3 000 a 400 segundos de arco. Los niños operados tuvieron después de los 18 meses un riesgo cinco veces mayor de no desarrollar fusión y cuatro veces mayor de no desarrollar estereopsis que los operados antes de esa edad. Los pacientes que perdieron el alineamiento ocular tuvieron al año de la cirugía casi tres veces mayor probabilidad de no alcanzar fusión que aquellos que mantuvieron la ortotropía. La probabilidad de no desarrollar estereopsis fue casi dos veces mayor en los niños ambliopes. Conclusiones: la cirugía temprana resulta importante para mejorar los resultados funcionales visuales en los operados de esotropía congénita. La pérdida del paralelismo ocular y la ambliopía estuvieron asociadas al no desarrollo de fusión y estereopsis


Objective: to determine the risk factors that have an impact on failing to achieve binocular vision in patients operated on from congenital esotropia. Methods: a case-series study conducted in patients operated on from congenital esotropia at the Pediatric Ophthalmology service of Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from January 2007 through May 2010. The following variables were analyzed: fusion, stereopsis, stability of the ocular alignment, surgical age, number of surgeries, amblyopia, and refractive defect. Results: in this group, 57.7 percent of the patients reached fusion and 30.8 percent achieved stereopsis, in a range of 3000 to 400 arc seconds. The risk of not developing fusion and the risk of not developing stereopsis in operated children aged over 18 months were 5 times higher and 4 times higher, respectively, than in children operated on before that surgical age. Those patients who lose the ocular alignment after one year of surgery were 3 times more likely to fail to achieve fusion than those who kept orthotopia. The probabilities of not developing stereopsis were almost twice greater in amblyopic children. Conclusions: the early surgery is important to improve the visual functional results in those operated on from congenital esotropia. The loss of ocular parallelism and amblyopia were associated to unsuccessful development of fusion and stereopsis

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar os resultados das reoperações nas esotropias congênita e essencial adquirida não acomodativa. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados retrospectivamente 393 prontuários de pacientes com diagnóstico de esotropia (91 esotropias congênitas e 302 adquiridas) no Departamento de Oftalmologia da Santa Casa de São Paulo, operados entre os anos de 2000 e 2004. RESULTADOS: No grupo dos portadores de esotropia congênita, 9 pacientes foram reoperados (9,9 por cento). As indicações para a nova intervenção foram: subcorreções (3,3 por cento), supercorreções (2,2 por cento), anisotropia (V) (1,1 por cento), hipotropia (1,1 por cento) e divergências visuais dissociadas (2,2 por cento). No grupo dos portadores de esotropia essencial adquirida não acomodativa 31 pacientes foram reoperados (10,3 por cento). As indicações para a nova intervenção foram: subcorreções (n=6,6 por cento), supercorreções (n=2 por cento) e hipertropias (n=1,7 por cento). CONCLUSÕES: A porcentagem de reoperação nos casos de esotropia congênita e essencial adquirida não acomodativa foram 9,9 por cento e 10,2 por cento respectivamente, com predominância de subcorreções nas indicações para a realização de nova cirurgia. A presença de ambliopia e desvios maiores que 50∆ na esotropia essencial adquirida não acomodativa (EEANA) foram os mais importantes fatores para maus resultados.


PURPOSE: To analyze the results in patients reoperated from congenital and essential esotropia. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of 393 patients who underwent surgery from 2000-2004 was performed. Subjects were divided into two groups: Congenital esotropia (91patients) and essential esotropia (302 cases). RESULTS: Among congenital cases we had 9 reoperations (9.9 percent). There were undercorrections (3.3 percent), overcorrections (2.2 percent), anisotropia (V) (1.1 percent), hypotropia (1.1 percent) and dissociatd vertical divergences (2.2 percent). Among the essential cases, there were 31 (10.3 percent) reoperations due to undercorrections (n=6.6 percent), overcorrections (n=2 percent) and hypotropias (1.7 percent). CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes reoperations rates were 9.9 percent and 10.2 percent between congenital and essential esotropias with a higher rate of undercorrections. Amblyopia in both groups and deviations higher than 50∆ in essential esotropias seems to be the most important factors for poor results.

ABSTRACT

As primitivas cirurgias de estrabismo, as miotomias e as tenotomias, eram feitas, simplesmente, seccionando-se o músculo ou o seu tendão, sem nenhuma sutura. Estas cirurgias eram feitas, geralmente, em um só olho, tanto em pequenos como em grandes desvios e os resultados eram pouco previsíveis. Jameson, em 1922, propôs uma nova técnica cirúrgica, usando suturas e fixando, na esclera, o músculo seccionado, tornando a cirurgia mais previsível. Para as esotropias, praticou recuos de, no máximo, 5 mm para o reto medial, o que se tornou uma regra para os demais cirurgiões que o sucederam, sendo impossível, a partir daí, a correção de esotropias de grande ângulo com cirurgia monocular. Rodriguez-Vásquez, em 1974, superou o parâmetro de 5 mm, propondo amplos recuos dos retos mediais (6 a 9 mm) para o tratamento da síndrome de Ciancia, com bons resultados. Os autores revisaram a literatura, ano a ano, objetivando comparar os vários trabalhos e, com isso, concluíram que a cirurgia monocular de recuo-ressecção pode constituir uma opção viável para o tratamento cirúrgico das esotropias de grande ângulo.


The primitive strabismus surgeries, myotomies and tenotomies, were performed simply by sectioning the muscle or its tendon without any suture. Such surgeries were usually performed in just one eye both in small and in large angles with not really predictable results. In 1922, Jameson introduced a new surgery technique using sutures and fixing the sectioned muscle to the sclera, increasing surgery predictability. For the esotropias he carried out no more than 5 mm recession of the medial rectus, which became a rule for the surgeons who followed him, which made it impossible from then on to correct largeangle esotropias with a monocular surgery. Rodriguez-Vásquez, in 1974, exceeded the 5 mm parameter by proposing large recessions of the medial recti (6 to 9 mm) to treat the Ciancia syndrome with good results. The authors revised the literature year after year with the purpose of comparing the several works and concluded that monocular recession-resection surgery may be a feasible option for the surgical treatment of large-angle esotropias.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó una investigación descriptiva, transversal y prospectiva de 13 pacientes con isotropía parcialmente acomodativa, después de una corrección total de la hipermetropía, tratados en el Servicio de Oftalmología del Policlínico Pediátrico Sur de Santiago de Cuba desde mayo del 2006 hasta septiembre del 2008. La ejecución de este estudio se justificó por el insuficiente conocimiento existente sobre el alineamiento ocular en las endotropías parcialmente acomodativas, luego de aplicar la técnica de debilitamiento bilateral de los músculos rectos medios. En la serie estudiada, la edad media fue de 6,3 años y el alineamiento ocular logrado en el período posoperatorio resultó exitoso, además de que no estuvo relacionado con la ametropía. La ambliopía encontrada contribuyó al pronóstico de la afección.


A descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective investigation of 13 patients with partially accommodative esotropia was carried out, after a total correction of the hypermetropy, treated in the Ophthalmology Service of the Southern Pediatric Polyclinic of Santiago de Cuba from May, 2006 to September, 2008. The implementation of this study was justified for the insufficient existent knowledge on the ocular alignment in the partially accommodative endotropia, after applying the technique of bilateral attenuation of medial rectus muscles. In the studied series, the mean age was of 6,3 years and the ocular alignment achieved in the posoperative period was successful besides that was not related with the ametropia. The amblyopia found contributed to the prognosis of the disorder.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La cirugía de reforzamiento unilateral del recto inferior es una alternativa terapéutica en el tratamiento quirúrgico de la desviación vertical disociada (DVD), indicada en casos de DVD muy asimétrica con mala visión monocular. Dado que el músculo recto inferior tiene como acción secundaria la aducción, al realizar un reforzamiento amplio de éste puede modificarse hacia adentro la posición horizontal. El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer la modificación de la posición horizontal después del plegamiento monocular en U del músculo recto inferior del ojo con mala visión. Material y métodos: Se realizó plegamiento del recto inferior monocular en 10 pacientes con DVD espontánea, sin cirugía horizontal y mala visión monocular; se llevó a cabo seguimiento mínimo de seis meses. Se cuantificó la magnitud de la desviación horizontal en dioptrías prismáticas (dp) en el pre y posoperatorio. El análisis estadístico se realizó con U de Mann- Whitney, con nivel de significancia de 0.05. Resultados: La desviación preoperatoria osciló entre 20 dp de exotropía y 10 dp de endotropía (± 10.34); en el posoperatorio, de 12 dp de exotropía a 15 dp de endotropía (± 7.82). La posición horizontal se modificó entre 2 y 15 dp hacia adentro, con una media de 9.4 ± 3.70 dp (p = 0.03). Conclusiones: El reforzamiento monocular del recto inferior modifica 9.4 dp en promedio la posición horizontal hacia adentro.(aU)


BACKGROUND: Unilateral tucking of the inferior rectus muscle is a therapeutic alternative in the surgical treatment of dissociated vertical deviation (DVD). It is usually performed in asymmetric DVD associated with monocular low vision. Adduction is a secondary action of the inferior rectus muscle. If excessive reinforcement is done, the horizontal position can be modified toward esotropia. We undertook this study to evaluate the horizontal position modification after unilateral tucking of the inferior rectus muscle. METHODS: Unilateral tucking of the inferior rectus muscle was done in 10 patients with spontaneous DVD, without horizontal surgery and poor monocular vision. Follow-up was done for 6 months. Horizontal deviation in prism diopters (PD) was measured. For statistical analysis, Mann-Whitney U test was used with a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: Preoperatively, horizontal deviation was between 20 PD of exotropia and 10 PD of esotropia (+/-10.34 SD). Postoperatively, horizontal deviation was between 12 PD of exotropia and 15 PD of esotropia (+/-7.82 SD). Horizontal deviation was modified between 2 and 15 PD towards esotropia, on average 9.4 PD (+/-3.70 SD) ( p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Monocular inferior rectus muscle reinforcement modifies the horizontal position on average 9.4 PD towards esotropia.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the surgical effects of bilateral graded inferior oblique muscle (IO) recession on the reduction of the V pattern deviation and severity of inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA) in children who had bilateral superior oblique muscle palsies (SOP) with secondary inferior oblique muscle overaction. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Seven patients who presented with bilateral SOP with secondary IOOA were included. All patients had V pattern deviation and bilateral graded IO recession was done. The data of age, sex, deviation in primary position, V pattern and severity of IOOA was recorded both pre- and post -operatively. The comparison of pre-operative and post-operative amount of V pattern and IOOA was analyzed with nonparametric statistical analysis. RESULTS: Four females and three males had the average age of 5.7 +/- 1.8 years old. The mean pre-operative severity of IOOA was + 3 and the mean pre-operative deviation of the V pattern was 36 +/- 11.4 prism diopters (PD). The mean post-operative severity of IOOA was + 0.4 and of V pattern deviation was 10.7 +/- 4.4 PD. Comparing the pre-operative and post-operative severity of lOOA and V pattern deviation by non-parametric statistical analysis and the result was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Bilateral graded IO recession is an effective surgical procedure to reduce the V pattern and the severity of IOOA in the children who are suffering from bilateral SOP with secondary IOOA.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Demonstrar a viabilidade da cirurgia monocular no tratamento das esotropias de grande ângulo, praticando-se amplos recuos do reto medial (6 a 10 mm) e grandes ressecções do reto lateral (8 a 10 mm). MÉTODOS: Foram operados, com anestesia geral e sem reajustes per ou pósoperatórios, 46 pacientes com esotropias de 50δ ou mais, relativamente comitantes. Os métodos utilizados para refratometria, medida da acuidade visual e do ângulo de desvio, foram os, tradicionalmente, utilizados em estrabologia. No pós-operatório, além das medidas na posição primária do olhar, foi feita uma avaliação da motilidade do olho operado, em adução e em abdução. RESULTADOS: Foram considerados quatro grupos de estudo, correspondendo a quatro períodos de tempo: uma semana, seis meses, dois anos e quatro a sete anos. Os resultados para o ângulo de desvio pós-cirúrgico foram compatíveis com os da literatura em geral e mantiveram-se estáveis ao longo do tempo. A motilidade do olho operado apresentou pequena limitação em adução e nenhuma em abdução, contrariando o encontrado na literatura estrabológica. Comparando os resultados de adultos com os de crianças e de amblíopes com não amblíopes, não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre eles. CONCLUSÃO:Em face dos resultados encontrados, entende-se ser possível afirmar que a cirurgia monocular de recuo-ressecção pode ser considerada opção viável para o tratamento das esotropias de grande ângulo, tanto para adultos quanto para crianças, bem como para amblíopes e não amblíopes.


PURPOSE: To demonstrate the feasibility of monocular surgery in the treatment of large-angle esotropias through large recessions of the medial rectus (6 to 10 mm) and large resections of the lateral rectus (8 to 10 mm). METHODS: 46 patients were submitted to surgery. They had esotropias of 50Δor more that were relatively comitant. The patients were operated under general anesthesia and received no adjustable sutures. The methods used for refractometry, measurement of visual acuity and angle of deviation were those traditionally used in strabismology. Postoperatively, measurements in primary position (and side gaze) were carried out, along with assessments of limitations to adduction or abduction of the operated eye. RESULTS: Four groups comprised the study according to four periods of time: one week, six months, two years and four to seven years. The results for the postoperative angle of deviation were compatible with those reported in the literature, and remained stable in the folllowup. The motility of the operated eye presented a slight limitation in adduction and no limitation in abduction, contradicting the findings presented in the strabologic literature. No statistically significant differences were detected in the comparison between adults and children, neither regarding amblyopes and non-amblyopes. CONCLUSION: Monocular recession-resection surgery seems to be a valid option in the treatment of large-angle esotropias, both for adults and children, as well as for amblyopes and non-amblyopes.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of monocular surgery under peribulbar anesthesia for large-angle horizontal strabismus. INTRODUCTION: Monocular surgery may preserve some muscles if a repeat operation is required, may help to avoid the exposure of the dominant eye to the inherent risks of a surgical procedure and may reduce surgical time. METHODS: We evaluated ninety-two consecutive patients who underwent monocular surgery under peribulbar anesthesia for large-angle horizontal strabismus (angle of 40 prism diopters or greater). Patients were divided into group 1- esotropia and group 2 -exotropia. The postoperative follow-up was at 6 months, when the residual deviation was evaluated. In cases of residual deviations of over 15 PD (prism diopter), a second procedure was indicated. RESULTS: In all patients with preoperative deviations up to 60 PD, residual deviations were under 15 PD. Some patients with preoperative deviations of 65 PD (two in group 1 and four in group 2) and all patients with deviations over 65 PD had residual deviations over 15 PD. The 13 patients who underwent a second procedure experienced successful outcomes. Our ROC curve analysis showed that the cutoff point for obtaining a successful surgical result was 62.5 PD. No patient presented with a major limitation in respect of ocular movement. CONCLUSIONS: Monocular surgery under peribulbar anesthesia can be an alternative for horizontal large-angle strabismus given deviations of up to 60 PD. Monocular surgery did not result in successful outcomes for deviations of over 65 PD.

ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo se propone evaluar la efectividad de las suturas ajustables en los pacientes operados con esta técnica (66) en el Servicio de Oftalmología Pediátrica y Estrabismo del Instituto Oftalmológico Ramón Pando Ferrer, en el período comprendido entre abril de 2004 y enero de 2005, con seguimiento posoperatorio durante un año. El procedimiento estadístico se realizó mediante el la prueba t de Student de independencia. En este grupo de pacientes se analizó la necesidad de realizar el ajuste de las suturas a las 24 h de la cirugía. En este universo de estudio se determinaron algunos parámetros preoperatorios, como agudeza visual corregida, fijación y ángulo de desviación y su relación con los resultados de la operación. Se comparó el alineamiento al año entre el grupo de las esotropías y las exotropías. Se identificaron las complicaciones posoperatorias al año. El ajuste de las suturas permitió colocar los ojos en la posición deseada por el cirujano. Se relacionaron con buenos resultados quirúrgicos la buena agudeza visual corregida, la fijación central y ángulos pequeños y medianos de desviación preoperatorio. Las esotropías alcanzaron mejores resultados que las exotropías. Las complicaciones fueron muy escasas con esta técnica quirúrgica.


The present paper was intended to evaluate the effectiveness of Adjustable Sutures in patients operated on with this technique (66) at the Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus service of Ramon Pando Ferrer Ophthalmologic Institute in the period from April 2004 to January 2005, with one-year postoperative follow-up. The statistical procedure was X2 test of independence. In this group of patient, the need of adjusting sutures 24 h after surgery was analyzed. In this universe of study, some preoperative parameters were determined such as corrected visual acuity, fixation, deviation angle and their relationship with surgical results. The alignment was compared after one year between the esotropia group and the exotropia group. The postoperative complications were identified one year after surgery. The suture adjustment (39 percent) allowed putting the eyes in the position anticipated by the surgeon. Good corrected visual acuity, central fixation and small and medium deviation angles at the preoperative phase were associated to positive surgical results. The esotropia showed better surgical results than the exotropia. Very few complications were found by using this surgical technique.
