Abstract:
The authors have examined 980 children with strabismus who were 6 years of age or under at the Eye Clinic of Yeungnam University Hospital. This study was conducted during the 4-year period between January 1990 and December 1994. The main objective of this study was to determine the incidence and clinical characteristics of fundus abnormality in children with strabismus. The total number of subjects in this study are 980 cases. Sixty subjects(6.1%) are found to have optic disc, chorioretinal and vitreous anomalies. Among them, 26 cases(43%) are diagnosed as having optic nervehypoplasia, in 7 cases (12%) coloboma, in 4 cases(7%) morning glory syndrome, in another 4 cases persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, and in 3 cases retinoblastoma. In our study, 6.1% of the patients with strabismus are found to have disorders in optic disc and vitreoretina. These finding suggests that infants and young children with strabismus should have been examined to detect other related disorders of the eye.
