| Title | Exotropia : some challenges and trends |
| Abstract Nr. | 116 |
| Purpose | Exodeviations can be comitant or noncomitant. Noncomitant exodeviations may result from innervational causes, such as third nerve paresis or one of the congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders. They may also occur as a complication of surgery for esotropia. The most common comitant type is intermittent exotropia. Longstanding cases may develop some incomitance from secondary changes in the lateral rectus muscles, especially where the deviation is large. Historically exodeviations occur less frequently than esodeviations. This ratio may be changing, certainly in some parts of the world. The management of some forms of exotropia presents significant. challenges .Some trends will be presented. |
