Intermittent Exotropia: Management Options and Surgical Outcomes
Background: This paper reflects an effort to recreate a modern analysis of a 1985 study on surgical outcomes of intermittent exotropia. Post-surgical results are reported as functional, motor, cosmetic, and unsuccessful. Modern optometric approaches to management of intermittent exotropia are also discussed. Methods: A literature review of 17 acceptable papers (dating from 1990-2011) on the out...
متن کاملIs 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...
متن کاملAssessment of Cortical Dysfunction in Patients with Intermittent Exotropia: An fMRI Study
Neural imaging studies have found the connection between strabismus and brain cortex. However, the pathological mechanisms of intermittent exotropia are still not fully understood. In the present study, changes of binocular fusion related cortices in intermittent exotropia were investigated with blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging. Activated cortices induced by fu...
متن کاملIntermittent Exotropia and Accommodative Esotropia: Distinct Disorders or Two Ends of a Spectrum?
In clinical diagnosis, we often imbue medical disorders with distinct personalities based on a constellation of findings with little understanding of their underlying causes. Our purpose here is to juxtapose intermittent exotropia and accommodative esotropia and to consider the possibility that they represent a continuum of horizontal deviation, rather than distinct mechanisms of disease. Over ...
متن کاملPostural stability changes during the prism adaptation test in patients with intermittent and constant exotropia.
PURPOSE Computerized static stabilometry is a clinical test in neurologic and muscular diseases to assess postural stability or body sway in a quantitative manner. The purpose of this study was to examine whether postural stability would change in the process of the prism adaptation test in patients with intermittent and constant exotropia. METHODS Postural stability was measured before the p...
