THE MIXED FORM OF STRABISMUS IN CHILDREN

Аннотация

The article presents a comparative analysis of the results of surgical treatment of children with a mixed form of strabismus in 30 children aged 5 to 12 years. The vertical component in the mixed form of strabismus was expressed by hyperfunction of the inferior oblique muscle (IOM). All the examined children were divided into two groups: the first group consisted of 16 children, in whom the first stage of surgical intervention was performed to eliminate the deviation angle on horizontal motors with their transposition upward or downward. In the second group (14 children), the superiority of surgery was taken by the elimination of vertical deviation - surgery on the IOM. The results of surgical treatment showed that in 1st group the vertical component was eliminated in 58% of cases, while the overaction and residual angle of “V” pattern were preserved. In 2nd group, the vertical component was corrected in 89% of cases and the overaction was eliminated. Thus, a comparative analysis of the results of surgical treatment of children with a mixed form of strabismus showed that the first stage of surgical intervention is to perform surgery on the IOM.
