| Popis: | To compare the results of a single injection of botulinum toxin A (BTA) between children with infantile esotropia (IET) and nonaccommodative esotropia (NAET) during the first 2 years.Retrospective study that included 23 children with IET and 25 with NAET. At 6 months, 1 and 2 years after treatment, the deviation and stereoacuity were evaluated.At 6 months and 1 year after treatment there was no difference in ocular alignment between the two groups (success criteria were achieved in 36.8% in IET group and 60.0% in NAET at 6 monthsWe recommend BTA as an alternative, but not as definite treatment in IET if the surgeon/parents are not comfortable with an early strabismus surgery; but retreatment or surgery will have to be considered after 1 year. On the contrary, BTA may be a first-line treatment of NAET because it is an easy, safe and has a long-lasting effect. |
