Oculo-motor disorders in craniofacial malformations.

S Morax

    Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery
    |February 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Craniofacial abnormalities like telorbitism and stenosis frequently cause oculo-motor disorders such as exotropia and hypertropia. These eye movement issues often result from structural orbital changes, sometimes influenced by sensory factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Craniofacial Surgery
    • Pediatric Neurology

    Background:

    • Oculo-motor disorders are common in patients with craniofacial abnormalities.
    • Previous studies suggest a link between orbital structure and eye movement, but specific mechanisms require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between specific craniofacial abnormalities and resulting oculo-motor disorders.
    • To identify patterns of eye muscle imbalance associated with transverse, vertical, and sagittal orbital plane deviations.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 77 patient observations.
    • Categorization of craniofacial anomalies including telorbitism, craniofacial stenosis (C.F.S.), and plagiocephalies.
    • Correlation of orbital structural abnormalities with observed oculo-motor findings (e.g., exotropia, hypertropia, V syndrome).

    Main Results:

    • Telorbitism and craniofacial stenosis correlate with orbital divergence and exotropia.
    • Plagiocephalies are associated with hypertropia.
    • Craniofacial stenosis can lead to exotropia, exorbitism, and the V syndrome with double up-shoot.
    • Orbital extorsion, linked to antimongoloid palpebral fissures, may cause rectus muscle extorsion.

    Conclusions:

    • Oculo-motor disorders frequently arise as a consequence of craniofacial and orbital structural abnormalities.
    • Specific orbital plane deviations predict particular types of horizontal and vertical eye muscle imbalances.
    • Sensory factors may also contribute to the manifestation of these oculo-motor disorders.
