Other paralytic strabismus - what does this mean
Other paralytic strabismus is a type of strabismus, or misalignment of the eyes, which is caused by a disruption in the normal functioning of the muscles that control eye movement. this disruption may be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, infection, inflammation, tumors, and congenital abnormalities. in some cases, it may be due to a neurological disorder, such as a stroke or multiple sclerosis.
What happens during the disease - other paralytic strabismus
Other paralytic strabismus is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the sixth cranial nerve, which controls the muscles that move the eye. this damage can occur from a traumatic brain injury, stroke, tumor, or an infection, and can lead to an inability to move the eye in a coordinated fashion. this results in the eyes not aiming in the same direction, which can cause double vision and can lead to amblyopia if not treated.
