Utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children with strabismus
Journal of Child Neurology May 26, 2019
Yoon L, et al. - In children <18 years of age presenting with strabismus, researchers assessed the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating structural abnormalities in strabismus as well as risk factors for abnormal MRI results. Between January 2012 and March 2017, 90 children with strabismus who underwent brain MRI at Pusan National University Hospital (Busan, Korea) were included in this retrospective analysis. In the abnormal MRI group, age at presentation was lower and abnormal findings on fundus examination were more common. In patients with infantile vs childhood strabismus global developmental delays, speech delays, and MRI abnormalities were more common. Findings revealed that brain MRI could accurately diagnose and help treat strabismus in younger children. In patients with childhood strabismus, ptosis and headaches were more common.
