FERNANDEZ GONZALEZ, María Emilia; DOCAMPO FERNANDEZ, Ernesto  y  IGLESIA GUIRADO, Nadia. Bilateral attenuation of medial rectus muscles in partially accommodative esotropia. MEDISAN [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.6. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective investigation of 13 patients with partially accommodative esotropia was carried out, after a total correction of the hypermetropy, treated in the Ophthalmology Service of the Southern Pediatric Polyclinic of Santiago de Cuba from May, 2006 to September, 2008. The implementation of this study was justified for the insufficient existent knowledge on the ocular alignment in the partially accommodative endotropia, after applying the technique of bilateral attenuation of medial rectus muscles. In the studied series, the mean age was of 6,3 years and the ocular alignment achieved in the posoperative period was successful besides that was not related with the ametropia. The amblyopia found contributed to the prognosis of the disorder.
