Re: articles on vision exam???

[Guest guest]

I have found a article relating to congenital superior oblique palsy (also

know as 4th cranial nerve palsy), plagio, facial asymmetry, and torticollis.

The superior oblique muscle controls the upper outward turn of the eye. (

this page shows what the eye muscles control

http://cim.ucdavis.edu/Eyes/Version1/eyesim.htm ) My daughter age 5 1/2 has

congenital superior oblique palsy, with plagio and facial asymmetry but not

torticollis. She also has other congenital anomalies. We had been seeing a

Ophthalmology since she was 6 months old, the congenital superior oblique

palsy wasn't picked up until she was 4 1/2 years old. I understood the

article as it suggest the congenital superior oblique palsy causes the

plagio and facial asymmetry, as it. I not sure I agree with that. Here is

the article: http://www.aapos.org/pappostp5/paper96_8.html
