Other Forms Of Strabismus Flashcards
Mechanical restrictive deviations
EOM is tethered or a systemic diseases reduces the elasticity of one or more muscles
- incomitant, nonpareil deviations
- congenital or acquired mechanism restrictions
Congenital mechanically restrictive deviations
Duane syndrome
Browns syndrome
Fibrosis syndrome
Acquired mechanically restrictive deviations
Thyroid myopathy
Deviations secondary to trauma
Is duanes congenital or acquired
Mainly congenital but can be acquired
Common characterisitics of mechanical restrictive deviations
- gross limitations of ocular movement in one or more directions of gaze
- often present a small deviation or orthophoria in primary posirion
- frequent preservation of normal bino vision aided by compensatory head movement
- positive forced duction
Alternate CT in mechanically restriuvice deviations
May not provide accurate results when measuring the magnitude of deviation
Best test for mechanically restrictive deviations
Maddox rod or prism bar over the affected eye may be beneficial to measure int the deviations. If both eyes are srestricted, hirschbirg or krimsky may be best
Characterized by limitations in abduction, adduction, or both
Duanes syndrome
How do you tell what type of dueanse it is
Type correspondence to the number of Ds
Type I Duanes syndrome
Most common
Limited ABDuction
A patient with limited abduction in the absence of a significant strabismus in primary position should be considered Duane syndrome until proven otherwise
Type 2 Duanes syndrome
Least common
Limited ADDuction
Type 3 Duanes
Limited in ABDuction and ADDuction
3 Ds= type 3
Characteristics of Duane’s syndrome
- congenital
- unilateral (85%)
- no significant strabismus in primary gaze
- globe retracts (enophthalmos) and eyelid fissure narrows on adduction
- size of deviation increases toward the affected
- may have A or V pattern
If there is a strabismus in primary gaze in Duanes
May have eso or head turn toward the effected side
What happens when they ADDuct in Duanes
Globe retracts nad eyelid fissure starts to narrow
Size of deviation in Duanes
Increases toward the affected side
A pattern
Eyes are out as they look down
V pattern
Eyes are out as they look up
Onset of Duanes
Sporadic onset is most common, uncommonly hereditary
-usually isolated disorder
Etiology of Duane;s syndrome
mechanical, anatomical, and innervation disorder
- fibrotic LR or MR that is inserted too far posteriroly
- studies have shown anomalous innervation
Anomalous innervation in Duanes
May be due to the absence of abducens nuclei and peripheral nerves of the affected side along with innervation of the LR with branches of the inferior division of CNIII
Binocularity on Duane
-most have a high level of binocularirty, typically orthophoric in primary position
Compensatory head posture in duanes
Depdneten on the amount of deviation in primary position
Amblyopia in Duane
Rare
-they have to have an abnormalirit in primary position to get this, Duenes does not
Diplopia in Duanes
Rare
-patients learn to ignore the extrafoveal image
Motility in Duanes
May see an up/downshoot elf the affected eye during ADDuction
- mimics overaction of IO and/or SO
- surgery may not help with the up/downshoot of the oblique muscles
