Surgical correction of the hypertropia is desired to achieve binocularity, manage diplopia and/or correct the cosmetic defect. Steps to achieve the same depend on mechanism of the hypertropia and identification of the offending muscles causing the misalignment.
Depending on the symptoms, the surgical correction of cyclotropia may involve a correction of an associated vertical deviation (hyper- or hypotropia), or a Harada–Ito procedure or another procedure to rotate the eye inwards, or yet another procedure to rotate it outwards.
Heterophoria is an eye condition in which the directions that the eyes are pointing at rest position, when not performing binocular fusion, are not the same as each other, or, "not straight". This condition can be esophoria, where the eyes tend to cross inward in the absence of fusion; exophoria, in which they diverge; or hyperphoria, in which ...
Signs and symptoms In young patients, mild hypermetropia may not produce any symptoms. [2] The signs and symptoms of far-sightedness include blurry vision , frontal or fronto temporal headaches , eye strain , tiredness of eyes etc. [2] The common symptom is eye strain.
Symptoms: Nonaligned eyes: Complications: Amblyopia, double vision: Types: Esotropia (eyes crossed); exotropia (eyes diverge); hypertropia (eyes vertically misaligned) Causes: Muscle dysfunction, farsightedness, problems in the brain, trauma, infections: Risk factors: Premature birth, cerebral palsy, family history: Diagnostic method
White lung syndrome, or white lung pneumonia, is getting attention after an outbreak in Ohio. Experts explain symptoms, causes, treatment, and prevention.
Symptoms are usually subacute, occurring over weeks to months with dry cough (seen in 71% of people), dyspnea (shortness of breath)(62%) and fever (44%) being the most common symptoms. Causes. Pulmonary infection by bacteria, viruses and parasites; Drugs: antineoplastic drugs, erlotinib, amiodarone; Chemical exposure, most notably to diacetyl
Hyperventilation syndrome ( HVS ), also known as chronic hyperventilation syndrome ( CHVS ), dysfunctional breathing hyperventilation syndrome, cryptotetany, [1] [2] spasmophilia, [3] [4] [5] latent tetany, [4] [5] and central neuronal hyper excitability syndrome ( NHS ), [3] is a respiratory disorder, psychologically or physiologically based ...
A pulmonary contusion, also known as lung contusion, is a bruise of the lung, caused by chest trauma. As a result of damage to capillaries, blood and other fluids accumulate in the lung tissue. The excess fluid interferes with gas exchange, potentially leading to inadequate oxygen levels .
Alveolar capillary dysplasia ( ACD) is a rare, congenital diffuse lung disease characterized by abnormal blood vessels in the lungs that cause highly elevated pulmonary blood pressure and an inability to effectively oxygenate and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.
