Whereas many animals have eyes located on either side of their head (such as horses, for example), the eyes of humans look forwards – in the same direction. When normal, the eyes move in a coordinated manner, so that the object being looked at is centred in each eye. Because the eyes are set a small distance apart, the image in each eye is slightly different. The brain fuses the images coming f...

The ocular tilt reaction composes a triad of ipsiiateral head-tilt, ipsilaterai conjugate ocular torsion, and skew deviation with ipsilaterai hypotropia. It results from a disruption of central vestibular pathways conveying information from the semicircular canals and otoliths. Skew deviation is one component of the syndrome which may or may not be associated with the concomitant torsion and he...

Introduction: Brown syndrome is a rare ocular movement abnormality. This syndrome is characterized by an inability to elevate the affected eye in adduction. Most cases are sporadic but the occurrence in Monozygotic twins has suggested the possible autosomal dominant inheritance in Brown syndrome. Case presentation: A 4-year-old girl (one pair of dizygotic twins) was referred to our pediatric op...
