STRABISMUS: IS IT ‘STRABISMIC’ ? …. NEUROLOGICAL? OR BOTH? LIONEL KOWAL DIRECTOR, OCULAR MOTILITY CLINIC, RVEEH SENIOR CLINICAL FELLOW, DEPT OPHTHALMOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE FIRST VICE PRESIDENT, INTERNATIONAL STRABISMOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, 2002-2010 OVERVIEW…. OF THE CAUSES, ASSOCIATIONS AND TYPES OF STRABISMUS IDENTIFYING SOME COMMON / UNDER- RECOGNISED ASSOCIATIONS STRABISMUS Any ocular misalignment INCLUDES: Abnormalities of development of acuity Abnormalities of development of binocularity The variants of congenital nystagmus CHILDHOOD STRABISMUS 1. Derive largely from refractive disorders 2. Pure neurological 3. Derive largely from abnormal early visual devpt 4. Special types STRABISMUS: END RESULT OF A COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormalities in one / more of… Sensory development Refraction Orbital anatomy EOM anatomy / physiology Cortical / supranuclear Accommodation / convergence either cause or are caused by strabismus COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormal Sensory development Amblyopia Suppression Abnormal retinal correspondence COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormal Refraction Hyperopia or ‘plus’ error * Causes esotropia Any asymmetric refractive error Causes amblyopia, esotropia if + *so-called ‘long sighted’ - NOT the mirror image of short sighted. The patient can see clearly by generating focusing effort = accommodation COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormal orbital anatomy1 Orbital pulley heterotopy Changes muscle actions Globe size distorting muscle cone Causes pseudo- 6th Shallow / deep orbit Shallow: more prone to exotropia COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormal orbital anatomy 2 Intorted / extorted orbit More prone to alphabet patterns Plagiocephaly More prone to oblique dysfunction COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormal EOM anatomy / physiology Oblique muscle dysfunction Abnormal elevation / depression in AB- or AD- duction Globe torsion Abnormal innervation [Duane's, CFEOM] Strange incomitant strabismus COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormal cortical / supranuclear substrate 1 motor fusion oculomotor ‘shock absorber’ / ‘glue’ that tries to keep eyes straight sensory fusion stereopsis Abnormal binocular columns COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormal cortical / supranuclear substrate 2 Abnormal interneurons Latent Manifest Latent Nystagmus = LMLN = Fixation Maldevelopment N Just about any cause / association of devptl delay Chiari PVL COMPLEX JIGSAW PUZZLE Abnormal Accom - Conv relationship Accom too much convergence Conv too much accommodation *too little is rarely a problem TYPES OF STRABISMUS 1. Derives from refractive disorders 2. Pure neurological 3. Derives from abn early visual devpt 4. Special types NORMAL ACCOMMODATION Accommodation and convergence = Focus and Aim are very tightly linked ACCOMMODATIVE / ‘OPTOMETRIC’ ESOTROPIA +4 : Abn degree of accommodation required to see clearly Abn amount of accomm convergence is generated competes against motor fusion [oculomotor shock absorber] WHAT DOES +4 MEAN? For distance, generates same accommodation that ‘perfect’ person generates when looking 1/4 m away. For distance fixation, eyes will tend to aim @ a point 25cm away When looking @ an object 25cm away, eyes will aim @ a point 12 cm away ACCOMMODATIVE / ‘OPTOMETRIC’ ESOTROPIA Exactly the same can happen with low + and abnormal accomm convergence relationship* Many of these bifocals *many synonyms - convergence Xs, high AC/A ratio Developing an esotropia… Prolonged accommodation tendency to inappropriate convergence and increased tone in medial recti Increased tone will eventually exceed motor fusional reserve and esotropia! Initially reversible with glasses Eventually the medial rectus shortens so much that only botox or surgery will work Glasses still required to prevent recurrence [and, when older, for clear vision] Accommodative esotropia Usually 2-5 yrs old Usually high + [thick magnifying lenses] Sometimes low / normal + with abnormal relation b/w accomm and convergence Background of normal visual devpt in first 6mo of life Developing an esotropia… Happens more readily * if motor fusion is impaired: chromosomal defect / devptl delay Amblyopia Orbital anomaly LMLN * younger, lower + ‘Breakdown of preexisting phoria…’ Only acceptable as a presumptive label if: Wears thick magnifying lenses ± amblyopia Accomm disturbed e.g. Ditropan TYPES OF STRABISMUS 1.
