Summary

This prospective comparative study aims to compare medial rectus (MR) muscle fenestration and recession in patients with partially accommodative esotropia (PAET). The main question it aims to answer is whether MR fenestration is equally effective as MR recession for PAET.

All patients will receive complete ophthalmic and orthoptic assessment. Patients will be randomly allocated using a random table to one of two groups; Group 1 will receive conventional MR recession, and Group 2 will receive MR fenestration.

Conditions

  • Partially Accommodative Esotropia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

medial rectus fenestration

Fenestration technique involves making two splitting incisions by blunt dissection parallel to the muscle fibers on the superior and inferior borders of the muscle, leaving 1 mm of muscle fibers on each edge. The rectangular wide central part is excised from the insertion and between the two splitting incisions to a point back 5-8 mm depending on the angle of the esotropia.

PROCEDURE

medial rectus recession

recession is one of the gold standard weakening procedures that involves disinsertion of the muscle and re-suturing to the sclera at a more posterior location to decrease its contractile power.
