BACKGROUND: This is a retrospective study to determine the outcomes of the surgical correction in long-standing @entity5971 with @entity2915 fixation. METHODS: Medical charts of a group of @entity1 with @entity5971 who had @entity2915 fixation and underwent surgery for strabismus between January 1991 and December 2004 were reviewed. The mean follow-up time was 4.7 years. Binocularity was measured by the Worth 4-dot test and Titmus stereo test. Twenty-six @entity1 underwent surgery for strabismus. Twenty-one @entity1 aged 8 to 26 years with a minimum 3-year postoperative follow-up were included. Five @entity1 were excluded because they were lost to follow-up after surgery. RESULTS: Bimedial recession and resection of one lateral rectus muscle were performed in all @entity1 . Recession of the inferior oblique muscle with anteriorization was performed in @entity1 who had @entity2182 . Orthotropia was attained in 14 @entity1 , whereas @entity5971 was diagnosed in 5 @entity1 . Two @entity1 were diagnosed as having @entity5770 . Two @entity1 required a second surgery for dissociated @entity5494 . Overall, 9 of the 21 @entity1 had indications of binocular function and 12 remained the same in their stereoacuity. CONCLUSION: Surgical correction of long-standing @entity5971 with @entity2915 fixation in young adults may improve binocular function and allow long-term alignment stability.
