Esotropia Figure 1 shows that the patient has esotropia of the left eye or what is commonly known as a squint or strabismus. The squint is an inward squint (synonyms include convergent squint or esodeviation of the eye). Esotropia is a condition where either one or both eyes are turned inward. Congenital esotropia, often seen in infants below six years old, may give rise to amblyopia. Accommoda...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the primary surgery and reoperation outcomes of unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection (R&R) for intermittent exotropia. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 80 patients, all of whom had undergone unilateral R&R for intermittent exotropia as a primary surgery or reoperation and been followed-up on p...

The investigation and treatment of strabismus take up a high proportion 0 ophthalmologist's time. Its treatment is rewarding for the patients are often chi^ in whom the prevention of amblyopia, restoration of binocular vision and imp^ ment in appearance will be of great benefit for the remainder of their lives-j assessment of a diplopic patient is an interesting exercise and may contribute mu a...

This paper presents signal properties of spaceborne, strip-map SAR for very large squint angles. Doppler centroid, azimuth bandwidth, and exposure time are derived in terms of the platform attitude and elevation angle. This allows a description of the Doppler centroid variation with range and terrain height, and explains a possible range dependence of azimuth bandwidth at high squint. The yaw a...

Traumatic isolated cranial nerve palsies are uncommon and when they do occur, they are usually associated with severe head trauma. Cranial nerve palsy associated with mild head injury is rare. A case is reported of complete left third nerve palsy associated with mild head injury. The rate of recovery for complete third nerve palsy is slow and prolonged. The ptosis recovered in 10 months; the di...

Aim: Vertical incomitance can occur after muscle surgery, reasons remain unknown. In a prospective study, incidence and treatment was analysed. Material and methods: 40 consecutive esotropes where uniocular recession and resection was done were included in this study. First 20 had standard recession –resection and the rest 20 had hang back medial rectus recession along with resection andsplitti...

Cardiac rhythm was monitored in 219 patients who had ocular operations under general anaesthesia and in 15 patients who had cataract surgery under local analgesia. Of these, 140 were children having squint surgery. The high incidence of the oculo-cardiac reflex and the adequate protective effect of atropine 0-01 mg/kg given intravenously was confirmed. Isolated extrasystoles were common, partic...
