RELACIÓN ENTRE PSEUDOESTRABISMO Y SUS PREDITORES EN POBLACIÓN INFANTIL

ABSTRACT Introduction: The diagnosis of pseudostrabismus is very common in  ophthalmology; especially pseudotropia. There is some dispute about the parameters to determine the diagnosis especially hypertelorism. Objective To determine the relationship between the predictors and pseudostrabismus most frequent presentation in our midst: Epicanthus and Hipertelorism . The type of study : Prospective observational relationship . Statistical analysis: Binary logistic regression to relate Pseudostrabismus and Predictors .  and Odd . Ratio for risk assessment . Results and conclusions . 1 - Diagnosis of pseudostrabismus by PSEUDOESOTROPIA in our population is related to two predictors : pupillary distance ( DI ) and epicanthus . . 2 - 24 children (38.7 %) with Peudoestrabismo and 38 children (61.3 %) whitaut Pseudoestrabismo  had pupillary distance above normal percentiles or HYPERTELORISM. The OR ( 3.276 ) for this relationship shows that these children are 3 times more likely to have Pseudostrabismus . 14 children (22.6 %) with Pseudostrabismus and 6 children (9.7 % ) in the control group had pupillary distance below the normal percentiles or hypotelorism . The O.R. ( 2.087 ) for this relationship shows that these children are 2 times more likely to have pseudostrabismus . . 3 - The measurement of the pupillary distance is preferred in the presence of HYPERTELORISM  for diagnosing  Pseudostrabismus . (p < 0.05). .  4 -   30 (48.4 %) children with Pseudostrabismus and 32 children in the control group had epicanthus . The OR ( 1949 ) to this relationship, showing that these children have twice the chance of having pseudostrabismus . . 5 -Both HIPERTELORISM and HIPOTELORISM as predictors of PSEUDOESOTROPIA are in our midst.
