The reversed fixation test: a diagnostic test for dissociated horizontal deviation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Dissociated horizontal deviation is one of several conditions that manifest unequal horizontal deviations depending on which of the 2 eyes is fixating. PURPOSE To describe the reversed fixation test as an essential tool to establish the diagnosis of dissociated horizontal deviation. METHODS Analysis of 4 case scenarios depicting the utility of the reversed fixation test. RESULTS The reversed fixation test distinguishes dissociated horizontal deviation from an unequal exodeviation of the 2 eyes resulting from postoperative slippage or weakness of a horizontal rectus muscle. CONCLUSION The reversed fixation test is necessary to establish the diagnosis of dissociated horizontal deviation.

OBJECTIVE To examine the results of reversed fixation testing in patients who develop consecutive exotropia after surgery for infantile esotropia. METHODS The reversed fixation test was performed prospectively in 28 patients who developed consecutive exotropia after surgery for infantile esotropia. All patients were assessed for adduction weakness, latent nystagmus, dissociated vertical diver...

متن کاملThe enigma of luminance and fixation in dissociated strabismus.
Dissociated strabismus complex (DSC), comprising dissociated vertical deviation (DVD), dissociated horizontal deviation (DHD), and dissociated torsional deviation (DTD), is an enigmatic ocular misalignment disorder, for which multiple causes have been hypothesized. Evidence-based studies evaluating the pathophysiology of this unusual ocular motility disorder is of value to existing knowledge. L...
متن کاملFacilitation of vertical vergence by horizontal saccades, found in a patient with dissociated vertical deviation.
The authors examined vertical vergence in a 15-year-old girl with dissociated vertical deviation, a 6d` convergent strabismus, no binocular vision, latent nystagmus, and a minimal left amblyopia. Eye movements were recorded during 4s-periods of (1) both eyes open, alternated with 4s-periods of (2a) right eye covered, (2b) left eye covered or (2c) both eyes closed. The patient preferred fixation...

PURPOSE To provide evidence of the importance of a precise record of torsional alterations in all patients about to undergo refractive surgery and particularly in patients with latent strabismus that may become decompensated due to the dissociation phenomenon produced during different surgical procedures that result in fixation loss. METHODS Using 3D-VOG video-oculography, the authors analyze...
