Summary
Surgical correction of strabismus in Möbius sequence patients yielded satisfactory long-term results. Strabismus surgical stabilization requires time, but outcomes improved patient self-esteem and social inclusion.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pediatric Ophthalmology
- Strabismus Surgery
Context:
- Möbius sequence is a rare congenital condition affecting cranial nerves.
- Strabismus is a common visual disorder requiring surgical intervention.
- Surgical outcomes in rare conditions require long-term evaluation.
Purpose:
- To analyze the long-term surgical results in patients with Möbius sequence.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of strabismus correction in this specific patient group.
- To assess the impact of surgical correction on patients' quality of life.
Summary:
- Ten patients with Möbius sequence underwent strabismus surgery for esotropia.
- Satisfactory results were achieved in 80% of cases, with improved deviation and anisotropia.
- Ocular deviation stabilization occurred over time, indicating the need for patience post-surgery.
Impact:
- Surgical correction significantly improved patient self-esteem and parent satisfaction.
- Enhanced cosmetic appearance facilitated easier social inclusion for patients.
- This study highlights the importance of long-term follow-up in managing strabismus associated with rare syndromes.
