Sixth nerve palsy, or abducens nerve palsy, is a disorder associated with dysfunction of cranial nerve VI (the abducens nerve), which is responsible for causing contraction of the lateral rectus muscle to abduct (i.e., turn out) the eye. [1]
The following is the progression of scientific studies conducted to investigate prism adaptation's potential rehabilitative effects: Rossi et al., 1990, [9] was the first article to establish the use of prism adaptation as a tool in rehabilitation of symptoms of both hemianopia and of Unilateral neglect. Rossetti et al., 1998 then published a ...
The effort to correct eye misalignment causes eye strain, leading to a range of symptoms that complicate diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms can mimic those of chronic fatigue or motion sickness, making VH difficult to recognize and diagnose due to its broad symptom spectrum and lack of widespread recognition. [2]
This remains undetermined at the present time. A recent study by Major et al. [5] reports that: Prematurity, family history or secondary ocular history, perinatal or gestational complications, systemic disorders, use of supplemental oxygen as a neonate, use of systemic medications, and male sex were found to be significant risk factors for infantile esotropia.
Symptoms: Nonaligned eyes [2] Complications: Amblyopia, double vision [3] Types: Esotropia (eyes crossed); exotropia (eyes diverge); hypertropia (eyes vertically misaligned) [3] Causes: Muscle dysfunction, farsightedness, problems in the brain, trauma, infections [3] Risk factors: Premature birth, cerebral palsy, family history [3] Diagnostic ...
The cause of congenital fourth nerve palsy is unclear in most cases. It may be neurogenic in origin, due to a dysgenesis of the CN IV nucleus or nerve, but a clinically similar palsy may result from absence or mechanical dysfunction (e.g., abnormal laxity) of the superior oblique tendon.
The earliest successful strabismus surgery intervention is known to have been performed on 26 October 1839 by Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach on a 7-year-old esotropic child; a few earlier attempts had been performed in 1818 by William Gibson of Baltimore, a general surgeon and professor at the University of Maryland.

From left to right: an accommodative fixation stick, a vertical prism bar, and a horizontal prism bar. The PFR involves placing a prism bar in front of an eye. In a patient with BSV, a natural shift of the eye occurs. When measuring horizontal fusion ranges, base in prisms assess fusional divergence while base out prisms assess fusional ...
