Horizontal rectus muscle insertion sites in patients with infantile esotropia and acute acquired concomitant esotropia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the characteristics of horizontal rectus muscle insertion sites in patients with infantile esotropia (IE) and acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE).

Methods

The medical records of 166 IE patients and 261 AACE patients who underwent horizontal rectus muscle surgeries were reviewed retrospectively, including age at surgery, spherical equivalent (SE), and angle of esodeviation at near and distance. The limbus-insertion distances (LID) and widths of the medial rectus (MR) and lateral rectus (LR) muscles were measured intraoperatively using a caliper. The insertion parameters and clinical features were compared between different ages and types of esotropia, and a correlation analysis was performed between these variables.

Results

In IE patients
