Ophthalmological outcomes of unilateral coronal synostosis in young children
BMC Ophthalmology Aug 08, 2020
Luo WT, Chen X, Zhang YD, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers reported refractive outcomes, described types of strabismus and assessed the outcomes of surgical intervention for unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) in paediatric patients. Thirty patients aged from 3 months to 6 years (median 1.8 years) who had UCS surgery were reviewed at the Cerebral Department between 2017 and 2019. Sixteen patients had all types of strabismus; 15 of them underwent surgery. Refractive errors of 30 cases have been involved. Contralateral monocular elevation deficiency has also been the main type of strabismus in the UCS. Superior oblique muscle palsy, as previously reported, was still the most common. The contralateral eye to synostosis is at risk of having higher astigmatism and anisometropia. Timely treatment of other ophthalmic disorders should be given.
