Subject Alignment; Exam
Description 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: These tests allow for detection of eso-, exo- or hyperdeviations (phorias (one eye viewing) or tropias (both eyes viewing) that can be seen with ocular motor palsy, skew deviation, or with cerebellar disease (commonly esodeviation greater at distance) Instructional ocular motor examination procedures. 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼-𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼-𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱: Alternate cover test allows for detection of the total deviation (eso, exo or hyper) - i.e., phoria (misalignment with one eye viewing) + tropia (misalignment with both eyes viewing). Use the cover-uncover test to see what component of the total deviation is due to a tropia. Neurologic causes of diplopia including ocular motor palsies and skew deviation will typically cause a tropia, although the presence of a tropia does not necessarily mean that the patient's strabismus is neurologic (e.g., an infantile esotropia syndrome). https://collections.lib.utah.edu/ ark:/87278/s67400kp
