BOTOX INJECTION VERSUS LATERAL RECTUS MUSCLE SURGERY FOR TREATMENT OF BASIC EXOTROPIA
Ophthalmology dept., Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia Univ., Egypt
Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate Botox injection versus bilateral rectus muscle recession for treatment of basic exotropia. Methods: Of the 60 patients with basic exotropia included in a prospective com-parative clinical study which conducted at outpatient’s clinic of ophthalmology, Menoufia University Hospital during March 2021 till June 2022 were eligible for inclusion. A detailed history of strabismus, complete ophthalmologic and orthoptic assessment were done. Results: there were no significant differences between the studied groups regarding angle of squint pre and post-operative (P=0.563, 0.145 respectively). Also, angle of squint was significantly improved after operation than preoperative among Botox injection group (3.72±1.96 vs 31.67±6.64, P<0.001), and patients with bilateral rectus muscle recession (2.89±1.32 vs 32.56±9.46, P<0.001). Conclusions: In the treatment of basic exotropia, Botox injection is as effective as bilateral lateral recession.
