The influence of orbital architecture on strabismus in craniosynostosis.

PURPOSE: To better characterize the correlation of bony orbital dysmorphology with strabismus in craniosynostosis.

METHODS: The medical records of patients with craniosynostosis with and without strabismus seen at Rady Children's Hospital (San Diego, CA) from March 2020 to January 2022 were reviewed retrospectively in this masked, case-control study. Computed tomography scans of the orbits were analyzed to obtain dimensions of the orbital entrance and orbital cone. Primary outcome was correlation of strabismus with orbital measurements.

RESULTS: A total of 30 orbits from 15 patients with strabismus and 15 controls were included. Craniofacial disorders included in the study were nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (63%), Crouzon syndrome (13%), Apert syndrome (13%), and Pfeiffer syndrome (10%). Orbital index (P = 0.01) and medial orbital wall angle (P = 0.04) were found to differ significantly between the strabismus and control groups.

CONCLUSIONS: In our small cohort, bony orbital dimensions, including the ratio of orbital height to width and bowing of the medial orbital wall, were associated with strabismus in craniosynostosis.
