Restrictive strabismus following Jones tube insertion: a case series of 8 patients.
BACKGROUND: Restrictive strabismus and diplopia are an uncommon complication of conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy, with insertion of the Lester-Jones tube. A literature review revealed only 4 published reports of this complication with a total of 4 patients affected.
METHODS: We report on a series of 8 patients who presented with restrictive strabismus and diplopia following Jones tube insertion.
RESULTS: Time to presentation was variable and was found to occur from several months to as long as 6 years after insertion. Treatment included topical steroid therapy initially. Surgery was done to release adhesions and scarring if topical treatment failed. Mitomycin C was used in 2 patients. Only 4 of the 8 patients had successful resolution of their diplopia with either therapy.
INTERPRETATION: Diplopia following Jones tube insertion is an infrequent complication of surgery. Medical or surgical therapy can be help resolve symptoms but is often unsuccessful.
