Methadone for Emergence Delirium in Ambulatory Pediatric Strabismus Surgery.

Emergence delirium in children following strabismus surgery is a distressing and potentially dangerous condition and is likely attributable to visual disturbances, pain, and anesthetic gases. We explored whether a single intraoperative dose of methadone could reduce emergence delirium. Our study was an institutional review board-approved prospective, controlled, before-and-after investigation.

Subretinal Abscess Complicated by Post-infectious Retinal Vasculitis Following Strabismus Surgery.

An 8-year-old girl presented with a subretinal abscess after strabismus surgery. This was treated successfully with medial rectus suture removal, pars plana vitrectomy, intravitreal antibiotics, and intravenous antibiotics. Recovery was complicated by acute post-infectious retinal vasculitis after tapering high-dose corticosteroids, requiring an extended corticosteroid regimen over 2 months until resolution.

Self-efficacy training as an adjunct to exercise in a person with progressive multiple sclerosis: a case report.

Background: Increasing self-efficacy to exercise and minimizing disease-related barriers has been shown to improve physical activity levels and quality of life (QOL) in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Currently, little research has examined exercise self-efficacy in persons with more advanced MS. Purpose: Explore the effects of a self-efficacy plus exercise intervention on physical activity endurance and level, QOL, and fatigue in an individual with advanced MS and low self-efficacy.

A Rare Case of Congenitally Acquired Ocular Toxocariasis in A Five-Week-Old Infant.

Purpose: To report a case of strabismus in a five-week-old infant, likely secondary to a rare occurrence of congenitally acquired ocular toxocariasis.

Methods: Retrospective case report.

Results: A five-week-old male infant with left exotropia was referred to pediatric ophthalmology and to a vitreoretinal specialist.

Accommodative Esotropia Treatment Plan Utilizing Simultaneous Strabismus Surgery and Photorefractive Keratectomy.

Purpose: Accommodative esotropia is a common cause of acquired esotropia. Pathogenesis varies among patients but usually includes excessive hyperopia and a high accommodative convergence/accommodation ratio or tight medial recti. The present study reviews an individualized treatment plan combining photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and strabismus surgery to correct these problems.
