Strabismus/Squint
Is a misalignment of the eyesMisalignment may be in any direction- inward - outward - upward - downward
Strabismus
: ocular misalignmentAbnormality of binocular vision
Anomalies of neuromuscular control of ocular motility

Extraocular Muscle
There are six extra ocular muscle plays a role in eye position- Medial Rectus --------------- N III
- Superior Rectus --------------- N III- Inferior Rectus --------------- N III- Inferior Obliq --------------- N III
- Superior Obliq -------------- N IV- Lateral Rectus -------------- N VI

Law of ocular motility
Yoke MusclesAre pairs of muscles, one in each eye, that
produce conjugate ocular movementHering LawOf equal innervation states that during any
conjugate eye movement, equal andsimultanius inervation flow to the yoke muscle

Examination of strabismus
History is important in the diagnosis of strabismusFamily historyStrabismus and ambliopia frequently found to occur infamilies
Age at onsetThe earlier the onsert of strabismus, the worse the
prognosisType of onsetThe onset my be gradual, sudden, or intermitentType of DeviationFixationOne eye may constantly deviate or aternating fixation

Determination of angle of strabismus
A. Prisma and Cover testsB. Objective test
Cover test consist four parts
1. The cover test2. The un cover test3. The alternate cover test
4. The Prism cover test

Cover test
The examiner observes one eyeA cover is placed in front of the other eye
If the observed eye moves to take up fixation

Objective test
Hirschberg MethodA pen torch is shone into the eyes and the
patient fixate the light.The corneal reflection of the light will becentered in the pupil of the fixating eye, butwill be decentered in a squinting eye.

Hirschberg test Rough measure of deviation
Note location of corneal light reflex
Reflex at border of pupil = 15 Reflex at limbus = 45

Sensory Changes in Strabismus
Up to age 7 or 8 the brain usually developrespons to ab normal binocular vision that mayoccur if the onset of strabismus is later.This canges include
diplopiasupresionAnomalous retinal correspondenceEccentric fixation

AmbliopiaIs a unilateral or bilateral reduction of bestcorrected visual acuity, that caused beattributed to the effect abnormality of the eyeCaused by abnormal visual experience early in
life, resulting fromStrabismusAnisometropia (High bilateral refractive errors)Visual deprivation
Treatment : Occlusion therapy, the sound eye iscovered with patch to stimulate the ambliopic eye

Principles of squint sugerys
RecesionSlackens of muscle bymoving its insertion to
ward its origin
ResectionShorten a muscle toenchance its effective

Esotropia
The most common type of strabismus morethan 50% of deviation in pediatric populationThe causes can result from abnormality of inervational, anatomical, mechanical,refractive and accommodative
7/27/2019 day 9 STRABISMUS squint.pptx
21/24
Mayor type of Esodeviation
1. Accomodative (Refraktive and NonRefraktive)
2. Non Accomodative (Basic, acute)3. Incomitant esotropia (Sixth cranial nerve
paralysis, medial rectus restriction)

Exotropia
The most common type of exodeviation isintermittent exotropiaWhich is latent at time and manifest at other Onset is usually occurs early
7/27/2019 day 9 STRABISMUS squint.pptx

Classification
Basic type :Exodeviation approximately the same atdistance and near fixationDivergence excess typeExodeviation that is greater at distance fixationthan at near Convergence insufficiency typeIs Present when the exodeviation is greater at
near than at distance
