Effect of bimedial rectus recession with a loop on the deviation in essential infantile esotropia
1Department of Ophthalmology, Ege University, Faculty of Medicine, Izmir, Turkey.
Abstract:
Thirty-two patients with essential infantile esotropia were treated by using a 2.5 millimeter loop, added to a 4 millimeter medial recti recession bilaterally. Objective deviation was more than 45 prism diopters (PD) in all of the patients preoperatively. After surgery the deviation ranged between -10 PD and +IO PD in 26 (81.2%) patients, and limitation of abduction disappeared in all of the cases. A slight limitation of adduction was encountered in two (6.2%) patients. The authors concluded that bimedial rectus recession with a loop is an effective method as an early surgical procedure in patients with infantile esotropia with a large deviation.
