Concomitant and Incomitant, AHP and Hess chartTahseen Jawaid
This document discusses abnormal head posture, concomitant and incomitant strabismus, and Hess chart testing. It defines concomitant as having equal angle of deviation in all gazes, while incomitant deviation varies between gazes. Incomitant can be neurogenic from nerve palsies or mechanical from conditions like Brown syndrome. Abnormal head posture is a motor adaptation to maintain comfortable vision and includes face turns, chin elevation/depression, and head tilts. Hess chart testing uses red/green filters or mirrors to dissociate the eyes and identify muscle weaknesses or palsies.
Diplopia, or double vision, can be caused by ocular misalignment or optical abnormalities. The document discusses various types of diplopia including monocular and binocular diplopia. It describes how to evaluate a patient with diplopia through history, physical exam, and tests to determine the underlying cause which may be supranuclear, nuclear, internuclear, infranuclear, restrictive or orbital issues. Key examination findings that help localize the source of diplopia are discussed.
The document discusses the anatomy and functions of the extraocular muscles. It defines key terminology used to describe the muscles and their actions, including agonist, antagonist, synergist, and yoke muscles. It describes the primary, secondary and tertiary actions of each of the six extraocular muscles and their roles in monocular and binocular eye movements including ductions, versions, and vergences. Cardinal positions of gaze and diagnostic positions of gaze are also outlined.
The key arteries supplying the visual pathway include the internal carotid artery, posterior cerebral artery, anterior cerebral artery, ophthalmic artery, and posterior ciliary arteries. The central retinal artery supplies the retina. The optic nerve receives blood supply from the posterior ciliary arteries and branches of the ophthalmic artery. The optic chiasm, tract, lateral geniculate body, and visual cortex are supplied by branches of the internal carotid, anterior cerebral, and posterior cerebral arteries. Venous drainage is primarily through the central retinal vein, ophthalmic veins, basal veins and internal cerebral veins.
The document discusses the anatomy, embryology, and function tests of the macula lutea. It describes the macula lutea as a 5.5mm circular area at the posterior pole of the retina that subserves central vision. It notes the macula's delayed development until 8 months gestation and specialization of the fovea which contains the highest concentration of cones. The document outlines various macular function tests used to evaluate macular diseases, including visual acuity, Amsler grid, microperimetry, and electroretinography. It provides details on the anatomy and cell layers of the fovea centralis and techniques for assessing macular integrity with tests like the Maddox rod.
This document provides an overview of sixth nerve palsy, including:
- The sixth cranial nerve innervates the lateral rectus muscle to enable eye abduction. Sixth nerve palsy results in limited ability to turn the eye outward.
- Causes of sixth nerve palsy include idiopathic, vascular issues like hypertension and diabetes, trauma, and tumors. Symptoms include esotropia and diplopia.
- Diagnosis involves assessing eye movement limitations and diplopia. Treatment options include occlusion to control diplopia, botulinum toxin injection, or strabismus surgery if no spontaneous recovery occurs. Prognosis is generally good, with many cases recovering spontaneously in
There are 6 extraocular muscles that control eye movement. The recti muscles rotate the eye in different directions while the oblique muscles cause torsional movement. Heterophoria is a latent misalignment of the eyes that is corrected by fusion. It can become manifest as a true strabismus. Comitant strabismus is when the eye deviation remains constant in all gazes, while incomitant strabismus involves restricted eye movement as well. Esotropia is inward eye turning and can be accommodative, non-accommodative, or secondary in nature.

The document discusses Fourth Nerve Palsy (SOP), which causes weakness of the superior oblique muscle. It describes the anatomy of the fourth cranial nerve and the effects of SOP, including ipsilateral hypertropia that increases in opposite gaze. Common causes are trauma, vascular issues like hypertension, and diabetes. Clinical findings are outlined, along with classification systems. Management involves investigating for underlying causes, using prisms for small deviations, and surgery like weakening overacting muscles for large deviations. Surgical techniques are provided to address specific muscle weaknesses or torsion.
This document provides an overview of the visual pathway and abnormalities in pupillary reflexes. It describes the anatomy of the visual pathway, from the optic nerves through the optic chiasm, optic tracts, lateral geniculate bodies, optic radiations, and occipital cortex. Lesions in different parts of the pathway can cause different abnormalities in pupillary reflexes, such as the light reflex or near reflex. Specific abnormalities discussed include amaurotic light reflex, Marcus Gunn pupil, Wernicke's hemianopic pupil, and Argyll Robertson's pupil. The document also addresses anisocoria and how to evaluate differences in pupil size.
The eye receives its blood supply from two vascular systems - the retinal vessels and the ciliary (uveal) vessels. The retinal vessels include the central retinal artery and vein, which arise from the ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery. The ciliary vessels include the anterior and posterior ciliary arteries. Both systems anastomose to form circulations in the retina and choroid. The choroid has a dense capillary network called the choriocapillaris that supplies the outer retina. The retina and optic nerve have autoregulatory mechanisms to maintain constant blood flow despite changes in perfusion pressure, while the choroid has limited autoregulation.
The document discusses eye movement control systems in humans. It describes the different types of eye movements including saccades, smooth pursuit, optokinetic, and vestibulo-ocular reflexes. It outlines the major brainstem control centers involved including the PPRF, riMLF, MLF, vestibular nuclei, and cerebellum. Supranuclear control is provided by the frontal eye fields, parieto-occipital junction, and superior colliculus. Common eye movement disorders are also summarized.
The document discusses the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve 3), which is entirely motor and supplies several extraocular muscles and the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. It has nuclei located in the midbrain and courses from the midbrain to the orbit. Common causes of cranial nerve 3 palsy include vascular issues like diabetes and hypertension, neoplastic lesions, and trauma. Signs of a total cranial nerve 3 palsy include ptosis, limitation of eye movements, and a dilated pupil. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may involve surgery, patching, or prism correction of double vision.
This document provides information about the 4th cranial nerve (trochlear nerve) palsy, including its anatomy, causes, features, and tests used for diagnosis. It notes that the 4th nerve is the longest and thinnest cranial nerve, and is the only one that crosses sides and innervates the superior oblique muscle. Common causes of isolated 4th nerve palsy include congenital issues, trauma, idiopathic cases, and sometimes vascular or neurological conditions. Features include diplopia worse on downward gaze, hypertropia of the affected eye, and compensatory head posture toward the opposite side from the palsy. Tests like Parks-Bielschowsky and double
There are two main types of stereopsis tests: contour stereopsis and random dot stereopsis. Contour stereopsis tests use 3D glasses to detect depth in images where the disparity varies from 400-100 to 800-40 seconds of arc. Random dot stereopsis tests like the Random Dot E test use polarized dot patterns to detect raised letters or shapes within the patterns. There are several popular stereopsis tests, including the Titmus stereotest, Random Dot E test, Frisby test, Lang test, TNO random dot test, and Bernell stereo reinder test, which measure stereopsis in seconds of arc and are used to detect conditions like amblyopia and strabismus.

- A schematic eye is a mathematical model that represents the basic optical features of the real eye by using spherical surfaces and constant refractive indices.
- The first schematic eyes were developed in the 17th-19th centuries by scientists like Huygens, Smith, Le Grand, and Listing. Gullstrand further improved the model with four lens surfaces and refractive index gradients.
- Modern schematic eyes like Gullstrand's simplified model with three surfaces are commonly used for calculations involving refraction, image size and location, and the effects of refractive errors. While approximations, schematic eyes provide a framework for understanding ocular optics.
Diplopia charting involves recording the separation of double images seen by a patient in nine positions of gaze. The examiner uses a red glass over one eye while holding a light source in different positions. The patient reports if they see one image, two separate images, or a tilted image. The separation is greatest in the direction of an underacting or paralyzed eye muscle. When recording the results, the patient's right and left sides are noted along with the distance of any separation between images and any tilting. The diplopia chart should be interpreted along with a clinical exam and Hess chart.
This document discusses different types of incomitant strabismus, including neurogenic, mechanical, myasthenic, and myopathic strabismus. It describes the clinical features and investigations for each type. Specific restriction syndromes are also covered, such as Duane syndrome, Brown syndrome, Moebius syndrome, congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles, and myopic strabismus fixus. Treatment options are provided depending on the cause of strabismus.
This document discusses various methods for assessing visual acuity in children of different ages. It begins by defining visual acuity and the standard test used in older children and adults, the Snellen chart.

Cervical disc prolapse occurs when a cervical disc herniates and compresses the nerve root. The cervical spine has 7 vertebrae and 6 intervertebral discs that act as shock absorbers and allow motion. A disc is composed of an inner nucleus pulposus surrounded by the outer annulus fibrosus. Common sites of prolapse are C5-C6 and C6-C7. Clinical features include neck pain radiating to the arm. Imaging like MRI or CT is used to confirm prolapse. Treatment involves rest, medications, traction and surgery like anterior cervical discectomy if non-operative measures fail.
The document discusses the abducens nerve (CN VI), which innervates the lateral rectus muscle. It has three key points:
1. CN VI has only a motor component, originating from the abducens nucleus in the pons and innervating the ipsilateral lateral rectus muscle. It also sends interneurons through the medial longitudinal fasciculus to innervate the contralateral medial rectus.
2. CN VI passes through the subarachnoid space, pierces the dura at the dorsum sellae, traverses the cavernous sinus, and enters the orbit through the superior orbital fissure to reach the lateral rectus.

Hypertension and it's role of physiotherapy in it.Vishal kr Thakur
This particular slides consist of- what is hypertension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

3. Lateral Rectus
• Origion: Annulus of Zinn
• Insertion: 6.9 mm lateral to limbus in
horizontal meridian with width of 9.5 mm
• Innervation: Abducens Nerve
• Blood Supply: Internal Crotid Artery >
Ophthalmic Artery > Lateral branch of
muscular artery & lacrimal artery .
• Function: Abduction of eye ball
• Length: 40 mm (7-8 mm of muscle is in
contact with eye)
7. Abducens Nerve
• Abducens is the 6th paired cranial nerve.
• It has purely somatic motor (efferent) function.
• It supplies only one muscle, i.e. lateral rectus.
8. Abducens Nerve Pathway
Abducens nucleus in pons of brainstem > junction of pons & medulla > subarachnoid
space > dorello’s canal > cavernous sinus > superior orbital fissure > lateral rectus muscle
11. Clinical Features
• An eso deviation which increases in distance & towards affected side.
• Limited abduction in affected eye.
• Uncrossed horizontal diplopia, worsens for distance fixation and towards affected side
• A face turn towards affected side.
• Patients with mild degree of palsy can maintain BSV.
• Secondary changes in other horizontal rectus muscles if muscle sequelae have fully
developed.
12. Muscle Sequalae
Unilateral Palsy:
1. Overaction of the contralateral medial rectus.
2. Contracture of the ipsilateral medial rectus.
3. Secondary inhibitional palsy of contralateral lateral rectus.
Bilateral Palsy:
1. Contracture of medial rectus muscles.
13.
14.
15. Total vs Partial 6th Nerve Palsy
• Presence of abduction past mid line, indicates residual lateral rectus function.
• Failure to abduct past mid line may be due to total palsy or mechanical
restrictions.
• In above scenario, force generation test or botulinum toxin injection is used for
discrimination.
• Electromyography: Increased signal of action potential when eye attempts to
abduct, indicated residual function.
16. Unilateral vs Bilateral 6th Nerve Palsy
• Incomitant esotropia increasing in both left and right gaze indicates bilateral
palsy.
• Full development of muscle sequelae in unilateral cases that simulates
asymmetrical bilateral lateral rectus palsy.
• Contracture of medial recti in longstanding bilateral cases.
• V pattern esotropia is present in bilateral palsy.
17.
18.
19.
20. Differential Diagnosis
• Duane’s Syndrome
• High myopia
• Thyroid eye disease
• Orbital trauma involving a blow-out fracture of the medial orbital wall.
• Infantile esotropia.
21. Management
ConservativeTreatment
• Acquired palsies should be managed conservatively for the first 9 to 12 months or until
stabilization
• Primary aim is to relief the symptoms, that includes diplopia & uncomfortable
(abnormal) head posture.
• The options used are occlusion, prisms, & botulinum toxin.
22. Management
SurgicalTreatment
• Surgery may be employed once the condition is stable and static with a minimum of 6
months of stable measurements.
• Depending on the size of deviation, unilateral or bilateral recession of medial rectus with
resection of lateral rectus of affected eye.
• In complete palsy, medial rectus recession is combined with transposition of superior
and inferior recti to the affected lateral rectus.
