Evaluation of Congenital InfantileEsotropia's Treatment in Khartoum State

Abstract

Abstract The stud) aimed to evaluate congenital infantile esotropia's treatment in Iviartoum State The age enrolled in this study was from (birth-40) years The study subjects were (120). 30 were males and 90 were females. The prevalence of/congenital infantile esotropia has been found to be 25% among males and 75% among females. The distribution of subjects studied according to visual acuity was (25.8%) undetected their vision pretreatment this increase to (60.8%) of undetected post treatment. Results showed that the highest degree of the pretreatment of angle of deviation ranging from 20' — 25' by corneal reflection (23.3%) and post treatment the corrected angle (angle of deviation zero) represented the high percentage (32.5%). Results showed that convergence increases in direct elevation and direct depression (35%) pretreatment, but post treatment the high percentage was (65%) to undetected The distribution of subjects studies according to refractive status was (45.8%) hyperopes. (27.5%) astigmatic and (1 1.7%) myopes. Results showed most of subjects treated surgically (59.2%), from (56.7%) were treated by bimedial rectus recession. Results showed that when the age increases the defect of vision also increases. kc» words: ' Age — Angle of deviation — Refractive state — Bimedial rectus recession. -i_
