Article Synopsis
- Trigonocephaly, a condition affecting the shape of the head, is linked to poorer visual outcomes in children, but its impact on orthoptic issues post-visual development is unclear.
- A study assessed 78 non-syndromic trigonocephaly patients aged 8 and older, finding a significant prevalence of refractive errors and other visual abnormalities compared to healthy peers.
- Results indicated trigonocephaly patients have a much higher risk for issues like hyperopia, amblyopia, and strabismus, suggesting the need for regular eye screenings and long-term monitoring by specialists.
Purpose: To explore parents' experiences, preferences and information needs when either patching treatment or dichoptic action video gaming is used as an amblyopia treatment for their child.
Methods: A qualitative study was carried out on parents whose newly diagnosed amblyopic children participated in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing the effects of dichoptic action video gaming versus patching. A purposive heterogenic sample was selected for an additional interview after the study period.
Purpose: The effectiveness of preverbal orthoptic tests at age 6, 9, 14 and 24 months in population-wide screening was assessed.
Methods: Two consecutive birth cohorts at 134 centres were compared. At general health screening visits, children born July-December 2011 were vision screened four times between 6 and 24 months with inspection, pupillary reflexes, eye motility, Hirschberg, cover test and monocular pursuit.
Objective: The authors evaluated the long-term outcome of their treatment protocol for Muenke syndrome, which includes a single craniofacial procedure.
Methods: This was a prospective observational cohort study of Muenke syndrome patients who underwent surgery for craniosynostosis within the first year of life. Symptoms and determinants of intracranial hypertension were evaluated by longitudinal monitoring of the presence of papilledema (fundoscopy), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; with polysomnography), cerebellar tonsillar herniation (MRI studies), ventricular size (MRI and CT studies), and skull growth (occipital frontal head circumference [OFC]).
Purpose: In the Netherlands, youth health care physicians and nurses screen all children for general health disorders at Child Health Care Centers. As part of this, the eyes are screened seven times, with the first visual acuity (VA) measurement at 36 months with the Amsterdam Picture Chart (APK). The suitability of the APK has been questioned.
