OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) using a diffusion tensor imaging technique and whole-brain voxel-based analysis in patients with comitant strabismus. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 19 (nine males and ten females) patients with comitant strabismus and 19 age-, sex-, and education-matched healthy controls (HCs) underwe...

OBJECTIVE To present and evaluate a new technique that allows the second-stage suture adjustment in strabismus surgery to be skipped or delayed if the immediate postoperative alignment is satisfactory. METHODS The "short tag noose" technique replaces long sutures with short tags that can be left under the conjunctiva after adjustment. Retrospectively, the medical records of all patients treat...

The objective of this case report is to show the results surgical treatment convergent strabismus on example a 7-year-old patient. was conducted at Clinic for Eye Diseases in Tuzla, Bosnia & Herzegovina. Convergent strabismusis sensorimotor anomaly characterized by deviation eyes from parallel position, manifestly, inwards/towards nose, often addition with visual impairment. After applying ...

DOS Times Vol. 12, No. 3 September, 2006 Dissociated Vertical Deviation (DVD) is one of the least understood forms of strabismus. It was first described by Stevens as double vertical strabismus, other common names given to this anomaly are, Alternating hyperphoria (Crone), Anaphoria / anatropia (Stevens), Periodic vertical squint (Anderson), Strabismus sursoadductorius (Cords). The term "Dissoc...

PURPOSE To compare the surgical results of adjustable and non-adjustable horizontal strabismus surgery for concomitant horizontal strabismus. METHODS The charts of 231 patients, who underwent horizontal strabismus surgery, selected using probabilistic sampling, were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical technique used and strabismus type. Th...

Strabismus is a frequent ocular disorder that develops early in life in humans. As a general rule, it is characterized by a misalignment of the visual axes which most often appears during the critical period of visual development. However other characteristics of strabismus may vary greatly among subjects, for example, being convergent or divergent, horizontal or vertical, with variable angles ...

Vision is important for postural control as is shown by the Romberg quotient (RQ): with eyes closed, postural instability increases relative to eyes open (RQ = 2). Yet while fixating at far distance, postural stability is similar with eyes open and eyes closed (RQ = 1). Postural stability can be better with both eyes viewing than one eye, but such effect is not consistent among healthy subjects...
