Ability of an upright-supine test to differentiate skew deviation from other vertical strabismus causes.
OBJECTIVE To determine the sensitivity and specificity of a new upright-supine test to differentiate skew deviation from trochlear nerve palsy and other causes of vertical strabismus in a large number of patients. METHODS The study consisted of 125 consecutive patients who sought treatment from January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2010, for vertical strabismus of various causes: skew deviati...
متن کاملTeaching NeuroImages: Upright-supine test to evaluate vertical diplopia.
A 36-year-old woman presented with vertical diplopia, nausea, and disequilibrium. Maddox rod testing was performed in the upright and supine positions (figures 1 and 2). Skew deviation is a vertical misalignment caused by a supranuclear lesion in the vertical vestibuloocular reflex pathways, including the vestibular nerve, brainstem, or cerebellum. It arises from perturbed utricular inputs, and...
متن کاملUnderstanding skew deviation and a new clinical test to differentiate it from trochlear nerve palsy.
Skew deviation is a vertical strabismus caused by a supranuclear lesion in the posterior fossa. Because skew deviation may clinically mimic trochlear nerve palsy, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate the 2 conditions. In this review we compare the clinical presentations of skew deviation and trochlear nerve palsy and examine the pathophysiology that underlies skew deviation. We then descr...
متن کاملVertical gaze palsy with skew deviation.
With the advancement of neuroradiology, clinical localization followed by radiology, had made neurology more interesting. Vertical gage palsy as presentation cerebrovascular disease is not so common. Vertical gaze palsy usually localizes the lesion to dorsal mid brain. A 56 years male patient presented with sudden onset vertigo, diplopia, transient loss of consciousness and sways toward right s...
متن کاملUpright and Supine Positions
Left ventricular (LV) performance at rest and during multilevel exercise in the supine and upright positions was studied in seven normal subjects with equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography. The mean left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) during supine rest was 107 4 10 ml (± SEM) and 85 ± 6 ml (p < 0.02) in the upright position; the mean resting left ventricular end-systolic volumes ...
