| Summary: |
Purpose: The aim of
this study was to evaluate results of botulinum toxin A
treatment (BTA) in different types of strabismus in
children.
Material and methods: 22 children, aged between 7
months to 14 years with esotropia, exotropia and
paralytic strabismus were treated with intramuscular
injection of botulinum toxin A. In all cases the
strabismus angle and eyeball motility were evaluated
before and after injection. Children were divided
according to age and type of strabismus. Botulinum toxin
A was injected under general anesthesia.
Results: During first two weeks after treatment
hypercorrection was observed. Three months after
injection initial deviation reappeared, but strabismus
angle was significantly lower than before treatment.
Botulinum toxin treatment improved eyeball motility in
all cases.
Conclusions: Botulinum toxin A treatment (BTA) in
different types of strabismus in children is a good
alternative way of treatment that improves eyeball
motility. |
