purpose: to evaluate demographic and ocular features, etiologies and outcomes of surgery in patients with sensory strabismus as well as to detect factors influencing the type of deviation and outcomes. methods: one hundred and seventy-seven patients with strabismus related to low vision included in this interventional case series. data related to demographic features, visual acuity, refraction,...

The purpose of current study to evaluate the surgical outcomes of sensory strabismus. We retrospectively studied 7 consecutive patients who had undergone strabismus surgery for sensory strabismus. Patient age ranged from 14 to 48 years. Initial diagnoses were exotropia (n = 6) and esotropia (n = 1). In all patients, surgery was performed only on the affected eye. Initial types of operative proc...

PURPOSE To evaluate factors associated with the direction of horizontal deviation in the sensory strabismus of patients with unilateral organic amblyopia. METHODS The medical charts of 53 patients who had been diagnosed with sensory strabismus between 2000 and 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. The underlying ocular disease, time of onset and the duration of vision impairment, refractive err...

PURPOSE Patients with primary microstrabismus have a high degree of binocularity, which suggests that their ocular misalignment may have a sensory rather than an oculomotor origin, as in large-angle strabismus. The purpose of these experiments was to determine whether microstrabismic subjects have sensory abnormalities that could give rise to a small angle of strabismus. METHODS The binocular...

In cases of concomitant strabismus of childhood onset, areas of suppression develop in the visual field of the deviating eye in binocular vision (see this subject reviewed by DuBoisPoulsen, 1952; Mackensen, 1959; Ravalico, 197 I). There also develops in binocular vision, a variation of the directional localization of the retinal elements of the deviating eye which is called "anomalous retinal c...

PURPOSE To evaluate the result of re-operation on the deviated eye of recurred, consecutive or undercorrected sensory strabismus after surgery. METHODS The medical records of 11 patients who had received second strabismus operation on the deviated eye due to recurred, consecutive or undercorrected sensory strabismus were studied retrospectively. RESULTS Among the 11 patients, five patients ...

INTRODUCTION Pseudostrabismus is a common diagnosis in a busy pediatric ophthalmology practice. This purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of true strabismus in patients previously diagnosed with pseudostrabismus, to determine risk factors, and to examine the sensory outcome. METHODS This is a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with pseudo-strabismus and with at least ...

The role played by the extraocular muscles (EOMs) in the etiology of concomitant infantile strabismus is still debated and it has not yet definitively established if the sensory anomalies in concomitant strabismus are a consequence or a primary cause of the deviation. The commonest theory supposes that most strabismus results from abnormal innervation of the EOMs, but the cause of this dysfunct...
