Early versus late alignment of infantile XXXX .

@entity1 @entity5971
Fifty-two @entity1 with infantile @entity5971 had surgery for their @entity5971 between two and seven years of age. Another 49 had similar surgery before the age of two years. Of these 101 operated @entity1 , the @entity5971 in 70 @entity1 was aligned to within 10 prism diopters. The @entity1 with successful alignment were reviewed to study the effect of early versus late surgical intervention of their deviation, i.e. before and after two years of age. The motor and sensory states of the selected @entity1 were analysed before and after surgical correction. The choice and number of surgical procedures employed are discussed. It appears that @entity1 two years and older when strabismus was surgically corrected have a good chance of alignment, but less chance of attaining binocularity. In many cases there was a V-pat-tern @entity5971 , requiring surgery on the overacting inferior oblique muscles. In comparison, the younger group with earlier surgery appeared to show a better chance of attaining binocularity and fewer @entity1 had significant V-pattern requiring surgery on the inferior oblique muscles.
