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.
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 ...
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 ...
Symptoms: Irritation; Congestion and edema of the lungs; Complications: Oxygen toxicity; Seizures; Death; Risk factors: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy; Underwater Diving
Five years after my chest pain first began, that was the case for me. In 2021, after my second hospitalization and sixth lung collapse, I was diagnosed with thoracic endometriosis, a type of ...
Bálint's syndrome symptoms can be quite debilitating since they impact visuospatial skills, visual scanning and attentional mechanisms. Since it represents impairment of both visual and language functions, it is a significant disability that can affect the patient's safety—even in one's own home environment, and can render the person ...
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
Specialty. Neurology. Congenital fourth nerve palsy is a condition present at birth characterized by a vertical misalignment of the eyes due to a weakness or paralysis of the superior oblique muscle. Other names for fourth nerve palsy include superior oblique palsy and trochlear nerve palsy. [1] When looking to the right/left the nerve/muscle ...
Prism dioptres. Prism correction is commonly specified in prism dioptres, a unit of angular measurement that is loosely related to the dioptre. Prism dioptres are represented by the Greek symbol delta (Δ) in superscript. A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. [2]
Signs and symptoms. Fluid within the alveoli (air spaces) of the lungs. The most common symptom of pulmonary edema is dyspnea and may include other symptoms relating to inadequate oxygen ( hypoxia) such as fast breathing ( tachypnea ), tachycardia and cyanosis.
