Os Odontoideum in Children: Treatment Outcomes and Neurological Risk Factors.

Abstract: Background:Treatment outcomes and risk factors for neurological deficits in pediatric patients with an os odontoideum are unclear.Methods:We reviewed the data for 102 children with os odontoideum who were managed at 11 centers between 2000 and 2016 and had a minimum duration of follow-up of 2 years.

Three-muscle surgery for infantile esotropia in children younger than age 2 years.

Abstract: Purpose To review the long-term outcome of infants undergoing three-muscle surgery for infantile esotropia. Patients and methods Surgical records of 10 patients with esotropia > or = 55 prism diopters (PD) who underwent three-muscle surgery for large-angle infantile esotropia were reviewed. Outcome measures included over- or undercorrection, need for additional surgery, and amount of deviation at last follow-up. Results Mean age at initial surgery was 13 months. Mean preoperative deviation was 62.5 PD of esotropia. A single surgery was associated with satisfactory horizontal alignment in only three (30%) patients at last follow-up (mean, 37.1 months; range, 8-70 months). Esotropia was undercorrected in one (10%) and overcorrected in six (60%) patients, all of whom required additional surgery. One patient with satisfactory horizontal alignment required an additional procedure to correct a right hypertropia causing a left face turn. Conclusions In contrast to older children and adults, three-muscle surgery may be inappropriate for infants with large-angle esotropia due to a large overcorrection rate. This controversy may benefit from a prospective study.
