PURPOSE To compare and evaluate the efficacy of two different surgical techniques for the treatment of near-distance disparity esotropia; combined resection-recession and recession-retroequatorial myopexy of medial rectus muscles. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective study included 28 patients diagnosed with convergence excess esotropia who had worn their full cycloplegic refraction and/or b...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the efficacy of unilateral lateral rectus muscle advancement surgery based on one-fourth of the angle of consecutive esotropia within 25 prism diopters (PD) occurring after bilateral lateral rectus muscle recession for intermittent exotropia. METHODS Medical records of 11 patients who underwent unilateral lateral rectus muscle advancement for consecutive esotropia from ...

PURPOSE Previous studies of accommodative esotropia have been hampered by bias-prone methods of data collection and analysis and by small sample size. The studies have conflicting conclusions, causing uncertain results. This study aims to determine long-term results of standard treatment of accommodative esotropia and identify predictors of outcome, while minimizing bias in data collection and ...

Abstract Background Postoperative ocular imbalance is an important problem for orbital decompression surgery in thyroid eye disease (TED). The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes unilateral deviation and duction following discuss biomechanics imbalance. Methods Fifty-four TED patients who underwent were included. Fifteen 1-wall (deep lateral wall) decompression, 18 2-wall medial 21 3-...

AIMS To describe the eye misalignments that occur during heroin use and heroin detoxification and to give an overview of the management of persisting diplopia (double vision) which results from eye misalignment. METHODS A literature review using Medline and the search terms strabismus, heroin and substance withdrawal syndrome is presented. General management of cases presenting to the ophthal...

PURPOSE To compare unilateral versus bilateral surgical treatment of esotropia associated with high myopia. METHODS This retrospective study comprised patients who underwent surgery for esotropia with high myopia performed by the first author (Y.M.) between 2003 and 2008. Surgical results and complications were compared between patients who underwent unilateral versus bilateral surgery. RES...

BACKGROUND The use of medial rectus pulley posterior fixation sutures to treat esotropia with convergence excess has limited support in the literature. We describe our results using this technique to treat patients with large near-distance disparities. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed records of patients with accommodative or partially accommodative esotropia and convergence excess 13(Δ) o...

Myelography and pneumoencephalography are invasive procedures with many complications. We report two cases of esotropia that developed 8 and 7 days after a Pantopaque myelogram and a pneumoencephalogram, respectively . Fortunately , the esotropia was temporary in both cases. This rare complication, of which very few radiologists are aware, was presumably secondary to the lumbar puncture perform...

infantile haemangiomas (ih) are the most common vascular tumors occurring in early childhood, with a prevalence of approximately 5-10% of infants. these vascular tumors are divided into two main groups including infantile haemangioma and vascular malformations. although, haemangioma of infancy are common, benign and self-limited tumors, a significant percent of these lesions are associated with...
