[Physiopathology of amblyopia in strabismus]

Abstract

The physiopathologic specifics of the strabismic amblyopia which certify its origin in the disorders of neuronal and disbinocular development are discussed. The changes are produced at the level of systems situated in development during the trouble. The sensorial function is last obtained on the phylogenesis and is first affected as well as the central retina which is developed after the peripheral retina. It's about one deficiency of the foveal function that determine the functional and anatomical troubles in the cortex. The functional changes and after the organic changes are the result of the autoregulation and after reorganisation of the system due the inadequate stimulation of the deviated eye and competitive impulses.
