  • Title: [Botulinum toxin A in the treatment of concomitant strabismus in children].
    Author: Oleszczyńska-Prost E.
    Journal: Klin Oczna; 2004; 106(1-2):64-7. PubMed ID: 15218768.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of treatment of esotropia, exotropia and hypertropia with botulinum toxin A. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 72 children with esotropia, exotropia and hypertropia treated with intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin A. RESULTS: Squint angle decreased 76% in children with alternant esotropia, 70% in children with monocular esotropia, 64% in alternant exotropia and 54% in monocular exotropia after treatment with botulinum toxin A. In hypertropia squint angle reduced in 50%. CONCLUSIONS: The use of injections of botulinum toxin A in treatment of concomitant strabismus improves position of eyes, which creates better conditions for development of localization with normal retinal correspondence.
