[Is the term "blockage" just? (author's transl)].

J B Weiss

    Journal Francais D'Ophtalmologie
    |December 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The term "blockage" in squint research is analyzed, revealing its definitions vary and clinical signs depend on deviation magnitude. Alternative terms like spasm and contracture may offer clearer explanations.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Strabismology
    • Neuro-ophthalmology

    Context:

    • The term "blockage" has emerged in recent years to describe a syndrome, symptom, and pathogenic theory in strabismus (squint).
    • Existing definitions of "blockage" are imprecise and vary among researchers.
    • Clinical signs attributed to "blockage" are often directly related to the magnitude of the eye deviation.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze and discuss the term "blockage" in the context of strabismus.
    • To evaluate the clinical and electrophysiological significance of the "blockage" concept.
    • To explore alternative terminology for understanding strabismus pathogenesis.

    Summary:

    • The clinical manifestations and electro-oculographic findings in strabismus are largely dependent on the angle of deviation, rather than a distinct "blockage" phenomenon.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The concept of a hypothetical nystagmus associated with "blockage" does not aid in understanding strabismus pathogenesis.
  • The "faden operation" may be beneficial for specific cases of nystagmus or paralysis, but the term "blockage" itself introduces confusion.

    • Impact:

    • Clarifying terminology in strabismus research is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
    • Research into the surgery of the arc of contact and electro-oculography may offer more precise insights into strabismus.
    • Replacing the ambiguous term "blockage" with clearer terms like spasm or contracture could improve understanding of strabismus mechanisms.
