Strabismus

A damaged CN III can result in external strabismus, the inability to focus on objects and the pupil will not respond to changes in the intensity of light (McKinley, O'Loughlin, & Bidle, 2017, p. 44). There are several different tests that can be performed to test the function of the nerve. When

There are some people who are perceived to be demon-like or to be possessed simply because their eyes are predominately black and they look almost liquefied. When you come across people with eyes like this it definitely makes you take a double look. Although all of the supernatural shows on television make us wonder about these people the truth is they may be suffering from a genetic condition that causes the eye to be underdeveloped. Aniridia is a rare genetic eye condition that is an extreme form

The Genetic Defect Albinism In the past, albinos were usually treated with fear or awe. They were sometimes killed at birth. Albino births were common enough in some groups not to cause any excitement. For example, among the San Blas Indians of Panama, one in approximately 130 births is an albino. In the mid-nineteenth century, albinos were exhibited in sideshows. Whole families were displayed at times and were described as a unique race of might people. They were said to live underground

the main concern for people with albinism. These conditions are not correctable with lenses. Some people experience, astigmatisms, impaired vision or blindness, nystagmus (involuntary rapid eye movements), photophobia (sensitivity to light) and strabismus which is cross eyes. Taking an electroretinogram test can measure the response of light sensitive cells in the eyes to reveal complications of

Sutures in the in skull fuse prematurely causing the patient to have a short, wide head with bulging eyes that are wide-set. The shallow eye sockets cause strabismus (the eyes to point in different directions). Because the skull is wider than normal the patient will have a beak-like nose and an underdeveloped upper jaw. This causes dental problems and can also contribute to hearing loss. In a normally developing

Different therapies have been used as a complementary or alternative form of medicine. Some clinical therapy trials have not been recognized by the mainstream because so of the results have come back inconclusive or showed no benefit. Although some therapies have shown an improvement in cerebral palsy cases especially in children, these therapies have still not been recognized by the food and drug administration as an aid for cerebral palsy. Some of these therapies include hyperbaric oxygen therapy

What two organs system are primarily affected by botulin intoxication?Botulism is a form of food poisoning caused by exposure to a toxin called botulin. Botulin is produced by clostridium botulinum, a spore forming, anaerobic bacterium that can contaminate food. The two organ systems are primarily affected by botulin intoxication are the Nervous system and the Muscular system. The nervous system is affected when the botulin toxins bind to the presynaptic membranes at the motor and places, causing

The bacteriemic and meningitic forms of listeriosis can be cured, but serious complications can ensue despite prompt antimicrobial therapy. After the infection of central nervous systems, sequelae such as strabismus, hydrocephalus and retardation may arise. Hence the best approach is to prevent listeroisis from the get-go. General recommendations for prevention are the same as for other foodborne infections, and include thorough cooking of raw food from animal

CRANIAL NERVE 3 PALSY Differential diagnoses : -Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), myasthenia gravis, thyroid eye disease, chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, internuclear ophthalmoplegia,skew deviation, parinaud syndrome, idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome. 4 Danger and referral: complete pupil involving/relative pupil involving CN3 palsy is an emergency and mass or aneurysm needs to be ruled out as it can be fatal. 4, Hence refer immediately to neurologist for CNS imaging.4 This also

• Eye redness. • Eye bulging. • An eye that wanders out of focus (strabismus). • An eye that looks white in a bright light, such as in a photo. • A pupil that appears larger than normal or doesn’t get smaller when exposed to light. • Problems with vision. DIAGNOSIS This condition is diagnosed with a medical
