To compare the effect of bilateral medial rectus injection of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A), bilateral medial rectus muscle recession surgery (BMR rc), or unilateral medial rectus muscle recession combined with lateral rectus muscle resection surgery (R&R), in the management of partially accommodative esotropia (PAET) in children.
Retrospective comparative clinical study.
The study cohort included 98 patients diagnosed with PAET who had BTX-A injection or incisional surgery between December 2014 and January 2023. The main outcome measures included motor and sensory results as well as complications. Follow-up was at least 12 months for all patients.
There were 28 patients in the BTX-A group, 45 in the R&R group, and 25 in the BMR rc group. The motor success rates at distance and near fixation respectively were 50% (14/28) and 54% (15/28) in the BTX-A group, which were lower than that of the R&R group (78% [35/45], 84% [38/45]) and the BMR rc group (72% [18/25], 84% [21/25]) (P = .042 for near and P = .006 for distance). For patients with onset age <2.5 years old, there was no statistical difference amongst the 3 surgical approaches (P = .656). For patients with onset age ≥2.5 years, the motor success rate of the R&R group (81% [26/32]) and the BMR rc group (88% [14/16]) was higher than that in the BTX-A group (38% [5/13]; P = .004). There was no statistical difference in sensory outcomes for patients regardless of onset age or treatment methods (P > .05 for all). During follow-up, 4% (2/45) of patients in the R&R group and 20% (5/25) in the BMR rc group developed consecutive exotropia; no patient in the BTX-A group was overcorrected (P = .017).
Bilateral medial rectus muscle injection with BTX-A in patients with PAET is a safe, accessible, and low-cost alternative. Although motor success rates were higher, overall, in patients treated with incisional surgery, for patients with earlier age of onset (≤ 2.5 years old), BTX-A injection may be preferred to incisional surgery. In older children treated with unilateral recession-resection surgery, fewer developed consecutive exotropia.
比较双侧内直肌注射肉毒毒素 A(BTX-A)、双侧内直肌后退手术(BMR rc)或单侧内直肌后退联合外直肌切除术(R&R)治疗部分调节性内斜视(PAET)的效果。
回顾性比较临床研究。
本研究队列包括 98 例 2014 年 12 月至 2023 年 1 月期间接受 BTX-A 注射或切开手术的 PAET 患儿。主要观察指标包括运动和感觉结果以及并发症。所有患者的随访时间均至少为 12 个月。
BTX-A 组 28 例,R&R 组 45 例,BMR rc 组 25 例。BTX-A 组远距和近距固视时的运动成功率分别为 50%(14/28)和 54%(15/28),低于 R&R 组(78%[35/45],84%[38/45])和 BMR rc 组(72%[18/25],84%[21/25])(近距 P=0.042,远距 P=0.006)。对于发病年龄<2.5 岁的患者,3 种手术方法之间无统计学差异(P=0.656)。对于发病年龄≥2.5 岁的患者,R&R 组(81%[26/32])和 BMR rc 组(88%[14/16])的运动成功率高于 BTX-A 组(38%[5/13];P=0.004)。无论发病年龄或治疗方法如何,感觉结果均无统计学差异(所有 P>0.05)。随访期间,R&R 组有 4%(2/45)的患者发生继发性外斜视,BMR rc 组有 20%(5/25)的患者发生继发性外斜视;BTX-A 组无患者过矫(P=0.017)。
对于 PAET 患儿,双侧内直肌注射 BTX-A 是一种安全、可行且经济的替代方法。虽然切开手术的运动成功率更高,但对于发病年龄较早(≤2.5 岁)的患者,BTX-A 注射可能优于切开手术。在接受单侧后退-切除术治疗的大龄儿童中,发生继发性外斜视的比例较低。
