Seven-millimeter Bilateral Medial Rectus Recessions in Congenital-Infantile
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Twelve patients with large angle congenital-infantile esotropia averaging 71 prism diopters underwent 7-mm bilateral medial rectus recessions by the fornix approach.
Successful horizontal alignment with the initial procedure when measured as the most postoperatively was achieved in 11 patients (92%). One patient(8%) was undercorrected and none was overcorrected.
The advantages of the method, as compared to three or four muscle procedures, are that it is quicker, simpler, and a less traumatic procedure which leaves the lateral rectus nuscle an unope-rated for future surgeries if necessary. This is
effective
even in very large angle congenital-infantile esotropia.
