V Childhood Strabismus
نویسنده
چکیده
Strabismus is a condition in which the two eyes are not parallel but one is deviated with respect to the other, horizontally and/or vertically. The cause of childhood strabismus is generally unknown, although weakness of one or several of the eye muscles may be present as will be shown in the case presentation below. The most common type of strabismus, without any obvious dysfunction of the eye muscles, is called concomitant strabismus, implying that the angle or size of the strabismus is more or less constant, irrespective of the direction of gaze. This is in distinction to strabismus due to muscle weakness, called incomitant strabismus where the angle varies with the direction of gaze.
