Late Surgical Correction of Longstanding Constant Strabismus in Adults: Is Fusion Possible in All Successfully Aligned Patients?

Purpose: To determine whether late surgical correction provides fusion in adults who have constant strabismus beginning in early childhood.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective study that included 34 consecutive adults with a history of early onset strabismus who had not previously undergone surgery. They were tested with the Bagolini striated glasses (BSG), Worth four-dot (W4D) test, cover test, and four-prism diopter (4-PD) test, preoperatively, and 6 weeks after surgery.

Bupivacaine injection for comitant horizontal strabismus: clinical and radiological results.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of bupivacaine injection for the treatment of comitant horizontal strabismus and evaluate clinical effectiveness and associated radiological changes.

Methods: This prospective observational clinical study was conducted on 10 patients with comitant horizontal strabismus of up to 40 prism diopters. Ophthalmologic examinations and three-dimensional orbital magnetic resonance imaging were performed pre and post-injection (at first, third, and 12th months).

Clinical Features and Surgical Results in Harada-Ito Surgery Patients.

Symptomatic excyclotorsion is an important clinical problem, especially in acquired superior oblique muscle palsy. Excyclotorsion can disrupt the fusion and cause torsional diplopia. Harada-Ito surgery (HI) is a widely used method for treating excyclotorsions.

A study on the validity and reliability of the Amblyopia andStrabismus Questionnaire (A&SQ) in Turkish.

Background/aim: This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Amblyopia and Strabismus Questionnaire (AandSQ) that is translated into Turkish.

Materials And Methods: This is a methodological study. A total of 149 patients took part in the survey research between December 2012 and June 2014 in an university hospital, and 37 were retested.

Long-term motor and sensory outcomes after surgery for infantile esotropia.

Background/aim: Infantile esotropia (ET), entitled as congenital ET, is defined as an alternating, cross-fixational ET that occurs within the first 6 months of life. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term motor and sensory outcomes after surgical correction of patients with infantile ET.

Methods: Medical records of 108 consecutive children who had bimedial rectus recession (BMR) initially for ET were reviewed retrospectively.

Abducens Palsy Due to Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis in a Patient with Heart Failure.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis has a wide spectrum of presentation. The clinical manifestation depends on the location of the thrombus, its rate of progression, and the extent of venous collateralization. In this case report, we present the findings of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis presenting with abducens palsy and papilloedema in a patient with heart failure, an unusual etiology for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

Frequency, risk factors and outcomes of retinopathy of prematurity in a tertiary care hospital in Turkey.

The aim was to report outcomes of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening conducted between March 1999 and March 2012 in a retrospective manner before October 2005 (Group 1) and prospective manner thereafter (Group 2). Data of the neonates with either a gestational age of 34 weeks or less or with a birth weight of less than 1501 g were analyzed to elucidate the frequency of ROP, ROP-related risk factors and population characteristics. Of the 640 neonates, 240 (37.

A conventional strabismus surgical approach for lost medial rectus muscles.

We present 3 cases of successful conventional strabismus surgery to retrieve lost medial rectus (MR) muscles. In all cases the lost MR muscle was retrieved and re-attached to the intended scleral point. Two patients had residual exotropia, while the third case was orthophoric after surgery.

Consecutive exotropia: risk factor analysis and management outcomes.

Purpose: To report the frequency of risk factors and outcomes of consecutive exotropia (XT) following bimedial rectus recession (BMR) for the treatment of childhood esotropia (ET).

Methods: Ninety-eight patients with ET, who underwent only BMR between 1996 and 2007, were included in this study. Predictors of the development of consecutive XT and treatment outcomes were compared between groups (group 1, cases with consecutive XT; group 2, cases without consecutive XT).

Risk factor analysis for long-term unfavorable ocular outcomes in children treated for retinopathy of prematurity.

The aim in this study was to report long-term ocular outcomes of neonates treated for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and potential risk factors for unfavorable ocular outcomes. The study consisted of neonates treated for ROP between March 1999 and November 2009. Data relating baseline characteristics and late structural, functional and refractive ocular outcomes were recorded.

Recurrent Alternating Oculomotor Nerve Palsy: An Unusual Presentation of Parasagittal Meningioma.

We present a previously unreported case of 57-year-old man suffering from diplopia. Motility assessment revealed a total right oculomotor nerve palsy that spontaneously resolved in about 10-18 days. Three years later, sudden oculomotor nerve palsy occurred in his left eye and complete resolution with out any treatment was observed after a month.

Evaluation of the nerve fiber layer and macula in the eyes of healthy children using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To determine the normative values of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), macular thickness, and macular volume in healthy children using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and analyze the correlation of such values with age, refraction error, and biometric measurements.

Design: Observational case series.

Methods: This institutional study involved 107 eyes from 107 healthy pediatric patients (54 female, 53 male) with ages between 6 and 16 years.

Management of diplopia in patients with blowout fractures.

Purpose: To report the management outcomes of diplopia in patients with blowout fracture.

Materials And Methods: Data for 39 patients with diplopia due to orbital blowout fracture were analyzed retrospectively. The inferior wall alone was involved in 22 (56.

Congenital absence of salivary and lacrimal glands accompanied by growth and development retardation.

Congenital absence or hypoplasia of some or all major salivary or lacrimal glands, nasolacrimal ducts, and puncta is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Phenotypical expression may show great variability, and the diagnosis may be difficult. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature.

Combination of Laser Photocoagulation and Intravitreal Bevacizumab in Aggressive Posterior Retinopathy of Prematurity.

The response to combined laser photocoagulation and a single intravitreal injection of 0.75 mg bevacizumab to each eye on separate days in two patients with aggressive, posterior retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is described. Combined treatment resulted in regression of zone-1 disease in Case 1, which had no retinal detachment.

An analysis of neonatal risk factors associated with the development of ophthalmologic problems at infancy and early childhood: a study of premature infants born at or before 32 weeks of gestation.

Background: To determine the frequency of ophthalmologic problems and the risk factors that affect the occurrence of these problems in premature newborns with a gestational age of 32 weeks or less.

Methods: Premature newborns observed at a neonatal intensive care unit between January 2002 and March 2006 were included. A control visit including an ophthalmologic examination was performed at 10 months of age or later.

Duane's retraction syndrome: its sensory features.

Purpose: To investigate binocularity in Duane's retraction syndrome (DRS) and to evaluate whether or not there is a relationship between the sensory and clinical features of the syndrome.

Methods: Clinical and sensory findings of 29 patients with DRS were recorded. Binocularity was tested with the Bagolini glasses (BG), Worth four-dot (W4D), TNO and the stereo-fly plate of the Titmus test.
