A "esotropia fixa progressiva" se apresenta como um quadro de esotropia progressiva, em adultos altos míopes, que aumenta até que os olhos fiquem fixos numa esotropia de grande ângulo, geralmente associada a hipotropia, e que tem fracos resultados cirúrgicos. O objetivo deste tra...

Acute acquired comitant esotropia has been used to describe a dramatic onset of a relatively large angle of esotropia with diplopia and minimal refractive error. We describe six children aged 5 to 11 years who developed an acute non-accommodative esotropia with diplopia. Neurolog...

Sixteen patients with moderate angle esotropia of 30 to 35 prism dioptres were treated with a unilateral medial rectus muscle recession of 6 or 6.5 mm. Thirteen of sixteen patients (80%) were straight postoperatively or had 12 prism dioptres or less of esotropia. Three of the 16 ...

BACKGROUND--Patients with 'A' or 'V' pattern esotropia without vertical muscle overaction have traditionally been treated with medial rectus recession and vertical transposition of the muscle insertions. METHOD--Seven cases are presented treated by slanting muscle insertions, whe...

OBJETIVO: Analisar os resultados das reoperações nas esotropias congênita e essencial adquirida não acomodativa. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados retrospectivamente 393 prontuários de pacientes com diagnóstico de esotropia (91 esotropias congênitas e 302 adquiridas) no Departamento de Of...

Under general anaesthesia the eye position of esotropia generally moved divergently. When retrobulbar anaesthesia was added bilaterally, the eye position moved further in the same direction. In the electromyogram under general anaesthesia the 4 horizontal recti were silent in con...

To determine visual sensitivity in patients with latent nystagmus with or without esotropia or exotropia, and in patients with esotropia or exotropia, pupillary reactions to 5 degrees diameter light stimuli given to the retina at the fovea (centre), at 5 degrees nasal to the cent...

Monozygous twins who developed typical acute late onset esotropia are described. Neither had evidence of other neurological disease and both responded well to bimedial rectus muscle recessions. This twin presentation suggests a hereditary basis for the development of late onset e...

Appropriate use of base-out prisms may be useful objective test for detecting persistence of normal binocular vision (4-dioptre prism test). By prolonged observation of prismatic correction of an esotropic patient one may infer the presence of an anomalous sensorial status. This ...

Ninety-seven patients with congenital esotropia with deviations of 50 prism dioptres or greater underwent large (6 and 7 mm) bimedial rectus recessions. The overall success rate with one operation was 83.5%. Judgment of final alignment was made at the last follow-up examination, ...

Forty-six children awaiting surgery for concomitant esotropia were placed into two matched groups. One group received bilateral medial rectus recessions, while the second group received augmented bilateral medial rectus recessions. By recession the conjunctiva and subconjunctival...

Os autores relatam o caso de uma paciente que apresentou quadro reincidente de esotropia aguda e diplopia durante o período gestacional. Não havia história de trauma ou qualquer alteração sistêmica, excetuando-se a gravidez. Tratamento oclusivo alternado foi instituído, e após o ...

Binocularity was assessed in children who developed large, constant esotropia following bilateral lateral rectus recessions for intermittent exotropia. Nine such patients were identified who warranted medical rectus recession. Seven were finally aligned within 6 prism dioptres af...

Cyclic esotropia is a rare and poorly understood condition normally treated by correcting the deviation measured on the squinting day. Control in some patients with this condition can be gained by correcting their refractive errors, thereby improving acuity. We report on an adult...

O autor expõe argumentos para afirmar que não existe a síndrome de Duane tipo III da classificação de Huber. Aproveitando esses argumentos, mostra por que o retrocesso do músculo reto medial em síndrome de Duane com esotropia prejudica a adução mais do que o faz em esotropias de ...

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre alterações na hipermetropia e o alinhamento ocular em pacientes com esotropia acomodativa. Métodos: Foram analisados retrospectivamente prontuários médicos de pacientes consecutivos diagnosticados com esotropia acomodativa refrativa (com...

The success rate of large (6 and 7 mm) bimedial rectus recessions in 45 congenital esotropes with deviations of 50 prism dioptres or greater was found to be 91%. Judgment of final alignment was made six weeks postoperatively, with an average follow-up of 13 months. Large bimedial...

+2-00 to +2-75 dioptres of spherical hypermetropia in the more emmetropic of a pair of eyes is significantly associated with esotropia (P less than 0-001) and the presence of amblyopia (P less than 0-01). Anisometropia is not significantly associated with esotropia (P = 0-31) unl...

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o resultado da correção cirúrgica da esotropia em pacientes com fixação excêntrica e compará-lo com o de pacientes esotrópicos operados que não possuíam essa alteração sensorial. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo do resultado da correção cirúrgica da esotropia essen...

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre alterações na hipermetropia e o alinhamento ocular em pacientes com esotropia acomodativa. Métodos: Foram analisados retrospectivamente prontuários médicos de pacientes consecutivos diagnosticados com esotropia acomodativa refrativa (com...

The results of squint surgery in 40 children with congenital esotropia are analysed. A 'favourable outcome' was achieved in 23 (57.5%) children. The factors affecting the final outcome including ocular alignment in the immediate postoperative period, age at the time of surgery, a...
