[Oculo-orbital topometry studied by X-ray computed tomography in strabismic children]

Scanner examination of the oculo-orbital region of 20 squinting children shows, by mean of precise measures, in a first part abnormalities of orbital development (these abnormalities are always moderate). In a second part, this examination demonstrate asynergies of the horizontal oculomotor muscles, particularly an isolated hypermotricity of one medial ocular muscle in patent induction movements. Despite of irradiation of the crystalline lens this examination can be helpful in a preoperatory check-up.
