Title Skew Deviation and the Ocular Tilt Response
Creator David Newman-Toker, MD, PhD
Affiliation Associate Professor, Departments of Neurology, Ophthalmology, & Otolaryngology, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland
Subject Vertical Strabismus; Cyclovertical Strabismus; Skew Deviation; Vestibulo-ocular Reflex; Ocular Tilt Reaction; Vestibular Pathways; Vestibular Ocular System
Description The objectives of this presentation are to provide an understanding of the current use of the terms "ocular tilt reaction" and "skew deviation," to create some familiarity with the anatomic and physiologic substrate of ocular tilt and skew, and to demonstrate how to distinguish between skew and isolated oblique palsies at the bedside, recognizing limitations in our understanding of cyclovertical palsies. Clinical: vertical strabismus; cyclovertical strabismus; ocular torsion; fundus torsion. Disease/Diagnosis: skew deviation; ocular tilt response.
