Effect of observation of intermittent exotropia on health-related quality of life of children and parents
The authors present the analysis of the Intermittent Exotropia Questionnaire (IXTQ) completed by the observation arm of a previously reported randomised controlled trial comparing part-time patching to observation. Children aged >5 years completed the Child IXTQ, and all parents completed...
Effect of one versus 24 hours diagnostic occlusion
The purpose of this study was to compare measurements taken after one and 24 hours of diagnostic occlusion in cases of basic and divergence excess types of intermittent exotropia. This was a prospective study of 43 patients (34 females) with...
Saccadic measurements in intermittent exotropia vs fusional amplitude
The authors investigated the correlation between fusional convergence amplitude and saccades during the shift from exotropia to binocular fixation during the cover / uncover test. This was an observational study of 15 patients (six female, nine male) with intermittent exotropia....
Simultaneous surgery for ptosis and strabismus
The authors present the surgical management of congenital ptosis and coexistent strabismus at one centre for a follow-up period of >2 years. This was a retrospective review of 10 patients (17 eyes); nine males. Intermittent exotropia was present in three...
IXT control vs. binocular summation
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of BS scores with other current markers used for evaluating the control in preoperative intermittent exotropia (IXT) patients. Data was collected on stereoacuity, angle of deviation, Newcastle control score (NCS),...
Intermittent exotropia with a positive Bielchowsky head-tilt test
This is a retrospective study from Korea, of 118 patients’ charts with intermittent exotropia (IXT) and divided into two groups; 50 patients showed positive Bielchowsky head tilt test (BHTT) and 68 with negative BHTT. Significant differences (p<0.05) in the parameters...
Lost muscle surgery
The authors present the results of transposition surgery without concomitant lateral rectus weakening in a retrospective review of five cases. Surgery was for large exotropia and marked limitation of adduction after surgical loss of the medial rectus muscle. Mean age...
Outcome of three to four muscle surgery for XT
This study evaluates the short-term outcomes of surgery involving three or four horizontal rectus muscles in patients with exotropia >40 prism dioptres. The authors evaluate the role of adjustable sutures and identify prognostic factors influencing surgical outcome. They assess the...
Change in infantile exotropia
This study investigated the clinical course of patients with infantile exotropia who initially presented with a small exo deviation of 10-18 prism dioptres. Eighty-six patients were reviewed: 35 with follow-up of >2 years without surgery and 51 with surgery. The...
Use of control scores for intermittent exotropia
This study surveyed paediatric ophthalmologists to determine their use of the Newcastle, PEDIG and LACTOSE control scores in the diagnosis and management of intermittent exotropia. The authors aimed to identify how frequently control scores are used clinically, the barriers to...
Monocular eye closure following treatment of intermittent exotropia
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term status of monocular eye closure after surgical treatment of intermittent exotropia and to determine whether the status at short-term postoperative follow-up duration remains or can change after long-term...
