Clinical Manifestations of Delayed-onset Consecutive Esotropia after Surgical Correction of Intermittent Exotropia

Consecutive esotropia following surgery for intermittent exotropia.

The Clinical Course of Consecutive Esotropia after Surgical Correction

PURPOSE To investigate the clinical course in patients who underwent surgical correction of consecutive esotropia. METHODS The medical records of 13 patients who underwent surgical correction of consecutive esotropia were reviewed retrospectively. The authors investigated the deviation and surgical method at the time of exotropia surgery. During the follow up period, the authors also studied ...

Is initial overcorrection after surgical correction for intermittent exotropia necessary?

Many pediatric ophthalmologists have been trained with the strategy that an initial postoperative esotropia of 10 to 20 prism diopters following surgical correction for intermittent exotropia is a desirable initial outcome. This recommendation was suggested to apparently reduce the possibility of subsequent recurrence of exotropia. However, pediatric ophthalmologists who do unilateral recession...

Consecutive exotropia following surgically corrected cyclic esotropia.

INTRODUCTION Cyclic esotropia is a rare form of strabismus consisting of regular intervals of esotropia alternating with periods of orthophoria in a rhythmic/cyclic manner. In the vast majority of cases, surgery appears to permanently correct the esotropia, with no sequelae after years of follow-up. We report a case of consecutive exotropia in a patient five years after bilateral medial rectus ...

Reduction of Consecutive Esotropia Using Modified Contralateral Recession and Resection for Recurrent Intermittent Exotropia.

PURPOSE To report consecutive esotropia in contralateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection for recurrent intermittent exotropia after unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection and to evaluate the surgical outcome of modified contralateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection for exotropia after unilateral lateral rectus recession and medi...
