  1. Improvement in motor development following surgery for infantile esotropia Journal of AAPOS

  2. Aim • Does early surgery improve motor development in patients with infantile esotropia

  3. Methods • 161 patients with infantile esotropia • 25 item survey completed prior to surgery (143) and post surgery (58) • Compared to age matched with normal ocular alignment (194) • Subset of 40 had pre and post op surveys • Survey has 10 qns on fine motor and 15 qns on gross motor

  4. Results • Pre-surgery showed delayed achievement in fine motor at most ages (3-10months) and gross motor at some ages. (statistically significant) • Post op children had caught up with normals • Sub group of 40 had more rapid development than normals

  5. Conclusion • Early surgery is beneficial to both visual and motor development • “profound impairment” in fine motor apparent in pre-surgery group

  6. Issues • No evaluation of stereopsis or fusion to correlate with motor improvement • Scores based on yes/no answer, ? Clinical significance of 1-2 questions
