purpose: to investigate demographic, clinical and histopathologic features of consecutive exotropia. methods: patients with consecutive exotropia who underwent surgery in farabi hospital between september 2014 and april 2015 were enrolled in this study. after complete ophthalmologic examination and far and near deviation measurement, all patients with negative forced duction test underwent 4-mm...

We studied 250 patients with consecutive exotropia. The interval between the surgical procedure and the onset of the consecutive exotropia may take many years. Consecutive exotropia occurred with all types of corrective esotropia surgery that we studied. Amblyopia and medial rectus limitation postoperatively seemed to be common factors associated with consecutive exotropia.

PURPOSE To evaluate the surgical results of medial rectus (MR) muscle advancement with or without recession of the antagonist muscle for consecutive exotropia. METHODS Medical records of patients with consecutive exotropia (n = 27) were retrospectively reviewed. All patients received one-eye surgery with MR advancement, lateral rectus (LR) recession, or combined surgery. The pre- and post-ope...

purpose: to compare bilateral medial rectus advancement (bmra) and bilateral lateral rectus recession (blrr) for treatment of consecutive exotropia in terms of final alignment. method: this randomized clinical trial was performed on 14 patients with consecutive exotropia. inclusion criteria included history of bilateral medial rectus recession, exotropia ³20 pd and far-near difference <10 pd. e...

To the Editors: I read with interest the article, “Analysis of Risk Factors for Consecutive Exotropia and Review of the Literature” by Yurdakul and Ugurlu.1 The authors are to be congratulated in documenting their findings of increased risk factors for the development of consecutive exotropia such as anisometropia, amblyopia, and postoperative adduction defects. The authors reported that “no at...
