[Convergent strabismus with eccentric fixation in a case of persistent pupillary membrane]

Case report of a now 9-year-old boy with a pronounced persistent pupillary membrane in both eyes combined with amblyopia and eccentric fixation in the right eye and a convergent squint. After surgery removing the persistent pupillary membrane in both eyes at the age of 4 years, pleoptics and orthoptics were applied. Visual acuity and eccentric fixation did not improve. Strabismic surgery was carried out with good cosmetic result. Aetiologically, one can assume a deprivation by the persisting pupillary membrane.
