Abstract

Objective: Strabismus, defined as the misalignment of the eyes, is a common disorder that is usually diagnosed in childhood. Strabismus is an important health problem with both functional and psychosocial effects on children. In this study, we aimed to determine the clinical features and risk factors of patients diagnosed with strabismus and followed up in our clinic.

Methods: The data of pediatric patients who were followed up in our strabismus clinic between February 2016 and September 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients' detailed ophthalmological and strabismus examination findings and anamnesis findings concerning the etiology of strabismus were recorded.

Results: A total of 391 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the patients was 8.66±4.7 years. Of the patients, 207 (52.9%) had esotropia, 172 (43.99%) had exotropia, and 12 (3.07%) had vertical deviation, with the mean ages of these groups being calculated as (7.27±4.1), (10.45±4.8), and (7.16±4.7) years, respectively. Amblyopia was present in 54 (26.09%) of the 207 esotropia cases, 27 (15.70%) of the 172 exotropia cases. Esotropia is more likely than exotropia to be related to amblyopia, according to our research. Of all the patients, 97 (24.81%) had a family history of strabismus, 38 (9.7%) had a history of preterm birth, 39 (10.0%) had a history of neonatal care unit stay, 38 (9.7%) had epilepsy, 4 (1%) had a history of trauma, and 14 (3.6%) had an additional eye disease.

Conclusion: Detection of risk factors such as family history, preterm birth, length of stay in the neonatal care unit and epilepsy that may be associated with strabismus can help identify high-risk children for early diagnosis and treatment.

斜视病例的临床特征和危险因素评估。
目的:斜视是指眼睛错位,是一种常见的疾病,通常在儿童时期诊断。斜视是一个重要的健康问题,对儿童的功能和心理社会都有影响。在本研究中,我们旨在确定被诊断为斜视的患者的临床特征和危险因素,并在我们的诊所进行随访。方法:回顾性分析2016年2月至2022年9月在我们斜视诊所随访的儿科患者的数据。记录患者详细的眼科和斜视检查结果以及与斜视病因有关的记忆结果。结果:共有391名患者参与了这项研究。患者的平均年龄为8.66±4.7岁。在这些患者中,207名(52.9%)患有内斜视,172名(43.99%)患有外斜视,12名(3.07%)患有垂直偏差,这些组的平均年龄分别计算为(7.27±4.1)、(10.45±4.8)和(7.16±4.7)岁。207例内斜视中有54例(26.09%)存在弱视,172例外斜视中有27例(15.70%)存在弱视。根据我们的研究,内斜视比外斜视更有可能与弱视有关。在所有患者中,97名(24.81%)有斜视家族史,38名(9.7%)有早产史,39名(10.0%)有新生儿监护室住院史,38人(9.7%。结论:检测可能与斜视相关的家族史、早产、新生儿监护室住院时间和癫痫等危险因素,有助于识别高危儿童,进行早期诊断和治疗。
