Kammi B Gunton et al. Prim Care. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Defining the type of strabismus creates a framework for work-up and management. Comitant esotropia is most commonly a childhood condition treated with glasses and surgery. Comitant exotropia is often a childhood condition that may require surgical correction. Microvascular disease is the most common cause of ocular cranial nerve palsies in adult patients.

Keywords: Cranial nerve palsies; Esotropia; Exotropia; Strabismus.
