Early surgical alignment for congenital esotropia. 1983

M R Ing

To provide sufficient numbers of patients varying in age of initial adequate surgical alignment for congenital esotropia, 154 patients managed by seven ophthalmologists in three countries were personally examined by the author and the results compiled for a clinical study. Examiner bias was minimized by having the examination performed without prior knowledge of the clinical history and the tests were standardized in both method of examination and test devices. From this population group 106 patients were chosen who had reliable answers, satisfactory alignment and an ophthalmologist's exam of the congenital nature of the problem by at least one year of age. The results of sensory testing showed that those adequately aligned by the age of 6 months versus 12 months versus 24 months were not statistically different, but those patients aligned after 24 months of age demonstrated a significantly lower percentage with evidence for binocularity (p less than .001).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002675 Child, Preschool A child between the ages of 2 and 5. Children, Preschool,Preschool Child,Preschool Children
D004948 Esotropia A form of ocular misalignment characterized by an excessive convergence of the visual axes, resulting in a "cross-eye" appearance. An example of this condition occurs when paralysis of the lateral rectus muscle causes an abnormal inward deviation of one eye on attempted gaze.

D005139 Eyeglasses A pair of ophthalmic lenses in a frame or mounting which is supported by the nose and ears. The purpose is to aid or improve vision. It does not include goggles or nonprescription sun glasses for which EYE PROTECTIVE DEVICES is available. Glasses,Spectacles,Sun Glasses, Prescription,Glasses, Prescription Sun,Prescription Sun Glasses
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.

D013285 Strabismus Misalignment of the visual axes of the eyes. In comitant strabismus the degree of ocular misalignment does not vary with the direction of gaze. In noncomitant strabismus the degree of misalignment varies depending on direction of gaze or which eye is fixating on the target.
