Purpose: To determine whether the changes in the ocular alignment following general anesthesia, maintained with two different inhalational anesthetic agents, sevoflurane and desflurane, can be used as a predictor for surgical outcomes in children with esotropia.
Methods: The authors obtained digital photographs of 42 children with esotropia; 21 patients underwent strabismus surgery with general inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane (group A), 21 patients with inhalatory anesthesia with desflurane (Group B), as maintenance general anesthesia agents. For each patient, the corneal reflexes position were digitally measured and compared with the preoperative ocular deviation’s angle; the correlation with surgical outcome, one year after, was considered.
Results: The patients in both groups showed a decrease of th.. View More»
