“…The overall proportion of children who had 6-month postoperative misalignment of more than 10 PD measured by PACT – 37% of infantile esotropia subjects and 31% of acquired esotropia subjects – is higher than expected based on previous reports 5, 7. This high rate of postoperative misalignment ≥10 PD in our study may have been the result of our inclusion of intermittent deviations and phorias.…”

“…In a retrospective case series, Lueder and Galli found no difference in motor outcomes between children with ≤5 prism diopters (PD) change in alignment prior to surgery and those who had ≥10 PD change preoperatively 7. In a prospective study, Birch et al compared children with <10 PD (stable) and ≥10 PD change in preoperative alignment, and reported that postoperative alignment was better in the stable group at 6 weeks but this difference disappeared by 1 year postoperatively 5.…”

“…44 Second, outcomes of strabismus surgery, both in the CP children of the present study and in previous reports of NN children, indicate that success does not differ in children with stable versus unstable angles. 6,45,50 Favorable outcomes, in both CP and NN children, are linked to shorter durations of misalignment (earlier surgical treatment), not to angle stability. 4,48,51 …”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] The exclusion stems from the belief that neurologically impaired children have poorer outcomes, with variable angles of strabismus and lack of capacity for fusion. [7][8][9][10] Children with neurologic impairment tend also to be pooled together in strabismus studies.…”

“…This increased prevalence requires special ophthalmologic attention to infants with neurological impairment. However, those infants often tend to be excluded from the studies of strabismus treatment [6][7][8] . The exclusion most likely arises from the conviction that neurologically impaired infants have variable angles of strabismus and poorer surgical outcomes.…”
