BACKGROUND Cortical visual impairment (CVI) is the most common cause of pediatric visual impairment in developed countries, and cerebral palsy (CP) is diagnosed in approximately half of children with CVI. It is unknown whether children with CVI who also have CP (CVI+CP) have different characteristics and outcomes (with regard to visual acuity, strabismus, and response to strabismus surgery) than children with CVI without CP (CVI-CP). METHODS The medical records of all children with CVI, with and...
We present the first case series of patients with no systemic neurologic disease who experienced a spontaneous conversion from an initial exotropia to a sensory esotropia in the absence of strabismus surgery or chemodenervation. The patients in this series all were exotropic in the first 2 years of life, with the strabismic eye having decreased vision due to unilateral ocular pathology. All patients demonstrated spontaneous conversion to esotropia between 4 and 8 years of age and thereafter clin...
Summary Introduction Sensory exotropia is often due to profound amblyopia. Surgery essentially aims to improve aesthetic appearance and quality of life. Our goal was to discuss clinical features of sensory exotropia as well as surgical indications and outcomes. Methods Medical records of 43 patients who underwent sensory exotropia surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Each patient had an ophthalmological examination and a complete sensorimotor assessment. All surgeries were performed by the sam...
ABSTRACTPurpose: To determine the clinical manifestations and risk factors of developing strabismus in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) patients who underwent glaucoma surgery.Methods: A retrospec...
Occasionally, strabismus not fully conforming to the earlier discussed principles is encountered and requires additional understanding to explain its mechanisms. This chapter will describe several other variants of strabismus which would interest the inquisitive mind of a postgraduate student. A general ophthalmologist should also have their basic knowledge, to identify them and suggest appropriate management.
In retinitis pigmentosa (RP), peripheral visual-field loss starts in early stages, whereas central vision loss occurs in advanced stages. Sensory strabismus gradually occurs in RP. We investigated the relationship between ocular deviation and visual function and explored for sensory strabismus risk factors in 119 consecutive patients with RP at various stages. We assessed ocular deviation at far and near distances, that is the central visual field, using the mean deviation (MD) value and visual ...
ABSTRACTNystagmoid eye movements are involuntary eye movements that are not pure forms of nystagmus. Nystagmus, by definition, is involuntary eye movements off of fixation that are initiated by a s...
Strabismus in myopes can be related to anisometropia, accommodation/convergence effects, and/or muscle path deviations. This review article highlights management considerations in myopic patients.
