Unilateral surgery for pediatric sensory exotropia: clinical characteristics and surgical results.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To delineate the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of large angle sensory exotropia in pediatric patients.

Methods

The medical records of 54 large angle exotropia ≥40 PD patients aged from 1 to 18 years who were operated on between 2018 and 2021 and were followed up for 1 year were reviewed and contacted. Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups, group S patients had supermaximum recession resection and group E had augmented recession by lateral rectus muscle elongation with an autograft from the resected medial rectus muscle in the same eye. The clinical characteristics and results of both groups were compared.

Results

The mean age of the studied patients with sensory e
