Unilateral surgery for pediatric sensory exotropia: clinical characteristics and surgical results.

Background: To delineate the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of large angle sensory exotropia in pediatric patients.

Methods: The medical records of 54 large angle exotropia ≥40 PD patients aged from 1 to 18 years who were operated on between 2018 and 2021 and were followed up for 1 year were reviewed and contacted. Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes were analyzed retrospectively.

Exenterate or Not: A Simple Proposed Management Algorithm for Mucormycosis During the Era of COVID-19 in a Tertiary Eye Care Center in Egypt.

Purpose: To construct a simple management algorithm for cases with orbital mucormycosis during the COVID-19 era.

Methods: Retrospective study included records of 30 Egyptian patients with post COVID-19 orbital mucormycosis. They underwent full clinical examination, laboratory investigations, Computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the paranasal sinuses and pathological specimen examination.

A Proposed Diagnostic Algorithm for Fungal Orbital Infections after 20 Years of Experience in a Tertiary Eye Care Center- Egypt.

Method: Medical Records of cases with orbital fungal infection from January 2000 to December 2019 were reviewed.

Results: The study included 45 patients. Mucormycosis was proven in 32 (71.

Lateral Rectus Muscle Tendon Elongation by an Auto Graft from the Resected Medial Rectus Muscle as a Monocular Surgery for Large-Angle Sensory Exotropia.

Purpose: To evaluate using the resected medial rectus muscle for elongation of the lateral rectus tendon in monocular surgery for large-angle sensory exotropia.

Patients And Methods: A prospective case series was carried out in Tanta University hospital from January 2017 to June 2018 including 16 patients with large-angle sensory exotropia ≥50PD. The near and distance angles of exotropia were measured; any restrictions in adduction or abduction were recorded and scaled from -4 to 0.

Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) Guided Reversal of Edematous Punctal Occlusion.

Aim: To evaluate the role of anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in the diagnosis of punctal stenosis and to compare punctal parameters before and after medical treatment.

Patients And Methods: The study was conducted on 40 eyes of 24 patients who had acquired inflammatory punctal stenosis and had persistent epiphora (persistent epiphora group - PEG), and 20 eyes of 10 subjects with normal punctal openings as a control group (control group - CG). We measured the outer punctal diameter (OPD), recorded the visibility of the internal punctum and punctal depth (PD) using AS-OCT, before and 1 month after treatment with preservative free methylprednisolone 5% eye drops.
