Congenital strabismus is a common congenital musculoskeletal disorder in pediatrics. Early detection and intervention can improve the symptoms of the child. The treatment of congenital trapezius is based on conservative treatment, and surgery is needed if conservative treatment is ineffective.
1. Conservative treatment includes stretching, exercise therapy, soft tissue release, massage, acupuncture, nerve release and visceral release, botulinum toxin A injection, adjuvant therapy and home training. Conservative treatment can relieve the contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on the affected side, correct the deviated head posture and strengthen the training of the neck muscle groups, thus restoring the normal movement of the child’s neck.
2. Surgical treatment, when conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment can be chosen. Surgical treatment includes sternocleidomastoid myotomy, sternocleidomastoidectomy and sternocleidomastoid lengthening.
Early detection, diagnosis and treatment of congenital cervical strabismus can avoid further aggravation of the child’s condition. It is recommended to consult a doctor as early as possible, and formulate an individualized diagnosis and treatment plan under the guidance of a professional doctor.
