The Clinical Effect of Preoperative Deviation on Surgical Success and Sensory Function in Infantile Exotropia
Öz
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 16 subjects with infantile exotropia that underwent surgical management between 2012 and 2018. Patients with deviation ≤ 50 prism diopters (PD) were added to Group 1, and Patients with deviation > 50 PD were added to Group 2 to assess the impact of preoperative deviation on surgical success and sensory function. The surgical success is descri-bed as ≤5 PD esotropia and ≤10 PD exotropia for patients. The Titmus stereopsis and Worth 4-Dot tests were used for sensory function assessment.
Results: The average preoperative deviation was 50,63 ± 18,7 PD (20-90). The median age at the time of surgery was 73 (24-400) months. Surgical success was observed in 75% of the patients after the first surgery, and surgical success was observed in all patients after the second surgery. The sensory function was assessed in 11 testable patients (68.7%), of which 5 (45.4%) fusion was observed in the Worth 4-Point test, and 2 (18.1%) achieved measurable stereopsis. While the preoperative deviation had an effect on fusion, it had no effect on stereopsis and surgical success(p=0,015; p=0,45; p=0,77 respectively).
Conclusions: The smaller preoperative deviation may be associated with a higher rate of sensorial fusion development. Furthermore, relatively high surgical success can be achieved with late surgical timing in these patients.
