Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Abnormal head posture (AHP) is a significant clinical sign with diverse etiologies.
  • Existing literature on AHP is fragmented, necessitating a consolidated overview.
  • Understanding AHP is crucial for diagnosing underlying conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of abnormal head posture.
  • To consolidate dispersed literature on AHP causes and manifestations.
  • To serve as a reference for clinicians encountering AHP.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis.
  • Categorization of AHP causes into ocular and non-ocular.
  • Discussion of specific ocular motility disorders associated with AHP.

Main Results:

  • AHP can stem from ocular or non-ocular sources.
  • Ocular causes include conditions related or unrelated to extraocular motility.
  • Facial asymmetry may develop with chronic congenital or acquired AHP.

Conclusions:

  • AHP is a multifaceted clinical sign requiring thorough investigation.
  • Ocular motility disorders represent a significant category of AHP causes.
  • Recognizing AHP aids in identifying associated neurological and ophthalmological conditions.
