The management of large-angle esotropia in Graves ophthalmopathy with combined medial rectus recession and lateral rectus resection.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To describe surgical management and outcomes for large-angle esotropia of ?50? secondary to Graves ophthalmopathy using combined initial nonadjustable medial rectus recessions and lateral rectus resections. METHODS:The medical records of consecutive patients undergoing strabismus surgery for large-angle esotropia secondary to Graves ophthalmopathy from 1995 to 2012 by a single surgeon at each of two institutions was performed. Patient characteristics, surgical technique, and pre- and postoperative measurements of ocular alignment were analyzed. A modified Gorman diplopia scale was used to assess outcome. RESULTS:Of 38 patients, 36 had bilateral nonadjustable medial rectus recessions and lateral rectus resections as initial treatment for esotropia, and 6 patients underwent simultaneous vertical muscle surgery. Mean preoperative horizontal deviation was 60? and mean preoperative vertical deviation was 10?. Of the 38 patients, 19 (50%) reached the primary outcome, including 5 of 6 (85%) who had no preoperative vertical strabismus. The indications for reoperation were vertical strabismus in 13 of 21 patients (62%), residual esotropia in 7 of 21 (33%), and consecutive exotropia in 1 of 21 (5%). With a median follow-up of 13.2 months after first surgery, 32 of 38 patients (84%) reached the secondary outcome. CONCLUSIONS:Combining nonadjustable medial rectus recessions with lateral rectus resections can be a beneficial primary treatment for large-angle esotropia in patients with Graves ophthalmopathy, especially in those patients with small or no associated vertical strabismus.

Project description:PurposeTo compare long-term outcomes after bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLRc) or unilateral lateral rectus recession combined with medial rectus resection in the same eye (R&R) for primary treatment of childhood intermittent exotropia (IXT).DesignMulticenter, randomized clinical trial.ParticipantsOne hundred ninety-seven children 3 to younger than 11 years of age with basic-type IXT, a largest deviation by prism and alternate cover test at any distance of 15 to 40 prism diopters (PD), and near stereoacuity of at least 400 seconds of arc.MethodsRandom assignment to BLRc or R&R and masked examinations conducted every 6 months after surgery for 3 years.Main outcome measuresProportion of participants meeting suboptimal surgical outcome by 3 years, defined as: (1) exotropia of 10 PD or more at distance or near using simultaneous prism and cover test (SPCT); or (2) constant esotropia of 6 PD or more at distance or near using SPCT; (3) loss of 2 octaves or more of stereoacuity from baseline, at any masked examination; or (4) reoperation without meeting any of these criteria.ResultsCumulative probability of suboptimal surgical outcome by 3 years was 46% (43/101) in the BLRc group versus 37% (33/96) in the R&R group (treatment group difference of BLRc minus R&R, 9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -6% to 23%). Reoperation by 3 years occurred in 9 participants (10%) in the BLRc group (8 of 9 met suboptimal surgical outcome criteria) and in 4 participants (5%) in the R&R group (3 of 4 met suboptimal surgical outcome criteria; treatment group difference of BLRc minus R&R, 5%; 95% CI, -2% to 13%). Among participants completing the 3-year visit, 29% (25 of 86) in the BLRc group and 17% (13 of 77) in the R&R group underwent reoperation or met suboptimal surgical outcome criteria at 3 years (treatment group difference of BLRc minus R&R, 12%; 95% CI, -1% to 25%).ConclusionsWe did not find a statistically significant difference in suboptimal surgical outcome by 3 years between children with IXT treated with BLRc compared with those treated with R&R. Based on these findings, we are unable to recommend one surgical approach over the other for childhood IXT.
