Abstract
- We studied the success rate of bilateral 7mm medical rectus recession for 24 patients with large angle congenital esotropia through long-term follow-up. The success rate was 100%(24/24) at immediate postoperative period, 83.3%(20/24) at postoperative 6 months, 79.1%(19/24) at postoperative 1 year, 64.1%(9/14) at postoperative 18 months and 54.5% (6/11) at postoperative 2 years. Residual esotropia rate was 0%(0/24) at immediate postoperative period, 16.6%(4/24) at postoperative 6 months, 16..6%(4/24) at postoperative 1 year, 14.2%(2/14) at postoperative 18 months and 18.1%(2/11) at postoperative 2 years. Consecutive exotropia rate was 0%(0/24) at immediate postoperative period, 0%(0/24) at postoperative 6 months, 4.1 %(1/24) at postoperative 1 year, 21.4%(3/14) at postoperative 18 months and 27.2%(3/11) at postoperative 2 years. Residual esotropia may develop before 6 months and consecutive exotropia after 1 year postoperatively.
