Comparison of the inferior oblique weakening by disinsertion or disinsertion-resection and tucking in the patient with infantile esotropia

Comparison of the inferior oblique weakening by disinsertion or disinsertion-resection and... The effectiveness of disinsertion vs disinsertion-resection and tucking procedure of the inferior oblique muscle for infantile esotropia was studied. Preoperative muscle overaction scores were +3.2±0.6 and +3.3±0.48 for the two groups, respectively. Postoperatively, there was +0.52 average score in five Group I cases, whereas there were none in Group 2. We conclude that the disinsertion-resection and tucking procedure is more effective than simple disinsertion. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annals of Ophthalmology Springer Journals

Abstract

The effectiveness of disinsertion vs disinsertion-resection and tucking procedure of the inferior oblique muscle for infantile esotropia was studied. Preoperative muscle overaction scores were +3.2±0.6 and +3.3±0.48 for the two groups, respectively. Postoperatively, there was +0.52 average score in five Group I cases, whereas there were none in Group 2. We conclude that the disinsertion-resection and tucking procedure is more effective than simple disinsertion.
