Abstract:
In addition to the abnormalities of the extraocular muscles themselves and the nervous system innervating the extraocular muscles, the tissue pulley abnormalities around the extraocular muscles may lead to the occurrence of strabismus. In recent years, researchers have shown the intramuscular nerve distribution of the extraocular muscles using the Sihler technique. With the continuous progress of imaging technology, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy can be used to observe the attachment sites of the extraocular muscles. This review summarizes the latest research progress on the neuroanatomy of the extraocular muscles, in order to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of strabismus.
