Journal Title: Bioresearch Communications - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This retrospective study was conducted to determine the pattern of squint and its clinical characteristics in children of Cerebral Palsy (CP), attending in the ophthalmology out-patient department (OPD) of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh. This study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2017. Study population was the diagnosed case of CP patients (children). Age range of the patients varied between 6months to 9 years. The total number of patients was 404. Among the 404 patients having CP, squint was associated with 212 patients. Male and female patients were 128 (60.4%) and 84 (39.6%) respectively. The types of squint diagnosed were right esotropia (RET), right exotropia (RXT), left esotropia (LET) and Left exotropia (LXT). The frequency of RET , LET, RXT and LXT were found to be 94 (44.3%), 93 (43.9%), 18 (8.5%) and 7 (3.3%) respectively. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical characteristics of squint in CP children.
