Abstract
-
PURPOSE: To compare the psychiatric body dysmorphic concern of strabismus patients over 10 years old with a control group.
METHODS
Fifty strabismus patients over 10 years-old and fifty non-strabismic control patients over 10 years-old were asked to answer a questionnaire of the body dysmorphic disorder examination-self report.
RESULTS
Total score and scores of the distressing factor, the self consciousness factor, the avoidance factor and the comparison factor were statistically higher than those of control group. Strabismus patients were 3.52 times more likely to meet the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Comparison between constant strabismus patients and intermittent strabismus patients didn't show statistically significant differences, that is, intermittent strabismus patients also had equal degree of dysmorphic concern.
CONCLUSIONS
This results show that strabismus patients have relatively high rates of psychiatric dysmorphic concern.
