Do visual performance after congenital nystagmus surgery using extended hang back recession of the four horizontal rectus muscles?
Extended recession of horizontal rectus muscles using hang back sutures offers a good option for the surgical correction of sensorial and neuromuscular nystagmus, providing improvement in binocular best-corrected vision in 45% of the patients (21.4% more than 0.2 logMar units), a high satisfaction rate, and few associated complications. In patients with low vision this can be considered a success that may improve quality of life.
These results suggest that fluoroquinolone-resistant phenotype in a type III secretion system exoU strain background contributes toward the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa in pneumonia.
