Paralytic Strabismus in Children

Paralytic Strabismus in Turkish Children Examined at Three Tertiary Care Services: A Retrospective Cohort Study

“…The causes of third nerve palsy in the current study were similar to those of several previous studies, and congenital cases were the most prevalent 1,6,11,12. Congenital oculomotor paralysis is reported to be due to intrauterine development or as a result of perinatal trauma13,14; Tsaloumas and Willshaw14 suggested a possible role for intrauterine brain stem injury.…”

“…5 In the current study, the incidence of cranial nerve paralysis was 3% in patients younger than 18 years. In our patients with paralytic strabismus, fourth nerve palsy was the most common type, similar to results of the population-based study by Holmes et al 1 (6 of 36), but different to those of Harley 6 (18 of 121).…”

“…In patients with fourth nerve palsy, the prevalence of congenital strabismus (40.0%) was similar to that in previous studies 6,9. The majority of cases of fourth nerve palsy in a South African study of pediatric patients were either congenital or traumatic, and other causes were uncommon 9.…”

Pediatric ocular motor cranial nerve palsy: Demographics and etiological profile

“…reported that no cause could be determined in 21% of their cases. [ 3 13 ] Our study echoes these findings as far as the fourth cranial nerve palsy is concerned. Seventy-seven percent of our cases too were congenital, while 22.7% of the cases were idiopathic.…”
