Summary
This case study describes an unusual eye movement disorder involving unilateral eyeball retraction and abnormal muscle coordination. Findings suggest a central neural mechanism causing these complex ocular motor abnormalities.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neuroscience
- Ocular Motility
Background:
- A rare case of unilateral eyeball retraction in downward gaze and associated movements is presented.
- The patient exhibited exotropia and inability to adduct the affected eye, with facial turning to mitigate diplopia.
