An equal and simultaneous innervation flows from the brain to a pair of muscles of both eyes (yoke muscles) which contract simultaneously in different binocular movements
E.g. Equal and simultaneous innervation flows to:
1. RLR and LMR muscles during dextroversion
2. RSR and LIO muscles during dextroelevation
Hering’s Law of Equal
Innervation
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
11
Whenever an agonist receives an impulse to contract, an equivalent inhibitory impulse is sent to its antagonist, which relaxes
e.g. during dextroversion , an increased innervational flow to the RLR and LMR is accompanied by decreased flow to the RMR and LLR muscle.
Sheringtons Law of Reciprocal Innervation

•Etiology: •Congenital hypoplasia or absence of nucleus: third and sixth cranial nerve palsies.•Inflammatory lesions: encephalitis, meningitis, Neuro syphilis, peripheral neuritis (viral),infectious lesions of cavernous sinus and orbit.•Neoplastic lesions – brain tumors
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS

•Vascular lesions: HTN, DM and atherosclerosis. Haemorrhage, thrombosis, embolism, aneurysms or vascular occlusions•Traumatic lesions: head injury•Toxic lesions: CO poisoning, -OH neuropathy.•Demyelinating lesions: multiple sclerosis

THIRD NERVE PALSY
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
22
•The III nerve divides into two branches.• The superior branch supplies the LPS and SR•The inferior branch supplies the MR, IR and IO muscles.
•A complete lesion deficit of elevation, adduction and depression.

LOCALIZATION OF LESION
Nuclear:•Bilateral ptosis
Internuclear • Ophthalmoplegia
Infranuclear• partial or complete
impairment of pupillary reactions
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
24AETIOLOGYPupil-sparing causes tend to relate to
ischaemic microvascular disease (and rarely, cavernous sinus syndrome).
Pupil-involving disease usually arises as a result of an aneurysm but can also occur as a result of• tumour, • trauma, • pituitary apoplexy, • herpes zoster and • leukaemia.
Children may exhibit third nerve palsy as part of an ophthalmoplegic migraine.

INVESTIGATIONS1. VISUAL ACUITY:
a) It is necessary to lift the ptotic lid to evaluate visual acuity.
b) May be reduced due to mydriasis, particularly for near visual acuity
2. COVER TESTa) An exo- and hypo-deviation is present
3. OCULAR MOTILITYa) be limited elevation, depression and
adduction,b) complete or partial limitations
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
26
4. Hess chart a. The affected eye will show a markedly constricted fieldb. The other eye demonstrates overaction of its muscles
5. Diplopiaa) There will be constant diplopia unless complete ptosis
is present and blocks the vision of the affected eye6. Convergence
a) This will be absent if the medial rectus muscle is paralysed
7. Binocular functiona) This is usually absent unless the III nerve paresis is
mild and partial8. Accommodation
a) Due pupillary dilatation, the accommodation will be defective
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
27
ABERRANT REGENERATION
•Change in the regrowth of damaged nerve fibres following complete or severe third nerve palsy• It is liable to occur when either trauma or an aneurysm has caused the lesion•May occur from weeks to months after the onset of the III nerve paresis
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
28
CYCLIC OCULOMOTOR PALSY
•This rare condition is usually congenital and unilateral in origin • It is often associated with some degree of ptosis.•Acquired cyclic ocular motor palsy may occur following irradiation of the skull base and is similar to ocular neuro-myotonia
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
29
Contd…•The condition is described as having cyclical fluctuation in two phases:Paralytic phase: There is a partial III nerve palsy.
Miotic phase: There is convergence, lid retraction, accommodation and pupil constriction

FOURTH NERVEPALSY
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
31
•The IV cranial nerve supplies the superior oblique muscle only.• Any lesion affecting the nerve may result in difficulties of •depression, • incyclorotation and •abduction of the eye
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
32
LOCATION OF LESION
•Fourth nerve palsy may be due to lesions in the nucleus or fascicular lesions of the midbrain.• It can be difficult to differentially diagnose nuclear and fascicular lesions as the IV nerves crosses immediately after exiting the nuclei and exit the•dorsal midbrain after a very short intra-midbrain course.
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
33
PRESENTATION:
•Binocular vertical diplopia, •difficulty in reading and •the sense that ------- things appear to be tilted.
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
34
•There is often facial asymmetry consisting of shallowing of the midfacial region between the lateral canthus and the edge of the mouth
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
35
ETIOLOGY•Trauma,•Vasculopathy (often related to diabetes and hypertension) and •Demyelinating disease. •This may also be congenital or • idiopathic
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
36
INVESTIGATIONS1.COVER TEST
The test is performed with and without the abnormal head posture for comparison.
A latent deviation exists if a compensatory abnormal head posture is adopted.
2.OCULAR MOTILITY (sequelae)The primary under action of the affected superior oblique muscle.
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
37
3. CONVERGENCE :• This may be reduced, either due to
convergence insufficiency or the vertical deviation
4. DIPLOPIA• greater degree of diplopia on near
testing when looking down• usually uncrossed
5. Torsion Diagnostic prisms• Excyclotorsion is frequently present.• Fresnel prisms may be used temporarily
to correct the angle of deviation.• If the prism releves abnormal head
posture, then the indication is that the IV nerve was responsible for the abnormal head posture rather than a non-ocular cause.

38
SIXTH NERVE PALSY
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
39
•The VI cranial nerve supplies the lateral rectus muscle only. •A lesion affecting the nerve will result in defective abduction of the eye•Presentation:Horizontal diplopia (D>N)
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
40
AETIOLOGY• Trauma, • Vascular insults and • inflammation.• Palsy secondary to raised intracranial pressure is regarded as a typical false localising sign. •Other causes have included post-operative complications, viral infection, multiple sclerosis and otitis
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
41
CONTD…•Congenital• Following birth trauma• Hereditary• Infection (maternal)• Failure of lateral rectus development
•Young adults:• Trauma• Space-occupying lesions• Post-viral inflammatio•Multiple sclerosis• High myopia• – Ophthalmoplegic migraine
May 1, 2023
42
INVESTIGATION1. VISUAL ACUITY • This may be reduced if the affected eye fails to fixate due to the presence of deviation.
2. ABNORMAL HEAD POSTURE• The face is turned towards the affected side
3. Cover test • An eso-deviation is present (D>N)•with and without an abnormal head posture.
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
43
4.Ocular motility•The primary underaction of the lateral rectus results.
5.Binocular function•This is often retained in the presence of an abnormal head posture
May 1, 2023PARALYTIC STRABISMUS
44
MYOGENIC • ETIOLOGY:• Congenital - Absence ,hypoplasia mal insertion or muscular facial anomalies• Traumatic laceration, disinertion• Inflammatory - Myositis (viral) , influenza, measles.•Myopathies: These include thyroid myopathy, carcinomatous myopathy, Progressive external Opthalmoplegia
SINGLE MUSCLE PALSY1. Medial rectus• This produces an exo-deviation, which is greater for near fixation.
2. Inferior rectus: • This produces hyper- and exo-deviation
3. Superior rectus: • This is often bilateral and may present with a V exo pattern.
4. Inferior oblique:• This is a feature of an A eso pattern 01/05/2023

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS DOUBLE ELEVATOR PALSY
•The following conditions should be differentiated from double elevator palsy as they will have a positive forced duction test:• Blowout fracture• Thyroid eye disease• Brown’s syndrome• Congenital fibrosis of the inferior rectus muscle• General fibrosis syndrome
