What is Other Paralytic Strabismus, Bilateral?

Other paralytic strabismus, bilateral is a type of strabismus that is caused by damage to the nerves that control eye movement. It occurs when the extraocular muscles, which are attached to each eye, become weakened or paralyzed. This causes the eyes to become misaligned and the individual may experience double vision. Other paralytic strabismus, bilateral is more common in adults than children.

The most common cause of this type of strabismus is a corneal ulcer or injury. Other causes include trauma, stroke, tumors, and inflammation of the eye muscles. Patients may also experience other symptoms such as eye pain, headaches, and difficulty focusing. In some cases, strabismus may also be caused by a lack of coordination between the eye muscles.

Other paralytic strabismus, bilateral can often be diagnosed with a comprehensive eye exam. The doctor will examine the eyes for any signs of misalignment and assess the strength of the eye muscles. If strabismus is suspected, further tests may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis.

Strabismus can be treated in several ways. Surgery may be recommended for more severe cases, while glasses or patching may help to correct the misalignment in milder cases. In some cases, vision therapy may also be recommended to help the eyes work together. It is important to seek prompt treatment for strabismus, as untreated cases can lead to permanent vision loss.
