| Popis: | Purpose: Many children present with excessive blinking. Categorization, associated conditions, and prognosis are controversial. Methods: All children with excessive blinking were reviewed, excluding those with known uveitis, glaucoma, or obvious eyelid abnormalities. Parents were telephoned for follow-up. Results: No ocular pathology was identified in 31 of 34 children with excessive blinking (91%). Parents were able to report a specific cause of blinking in 7 (21%). In 24 of 34 (71%), parents reported complete resolution of excessive blinking. No new ophthalmologic diagnoses were uncovered on follow-up. Conclusions: Episodes of excessive blinking rarely indicate neurologic disorders and frequently resolve spontaneously. [ J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2016;53(1):22–24.] |
