Normal visual pathway routing in dissociated vertical deviation. 1988

Flash visually evoked cortical potentials have been recorded in three groups of age- and sex-matched subjects; one comprised of subjects with dissociated vertical deviation, one comprised of subjects with oculocutaneous albinism and one group of controls. The latency of the major positive (P2) component did not show statistically significant contralateral lateralization on monocular stimulation in either the dissociated vertical deviation group or the control group. Contralateral lateralization was found in the albino group at a statistically significant level (P less than 0.01). It is concluded that subjects with dissociated vertical deviation do not possess the typical albino optic pathway misrouting that has been reported.

D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D004948 Esotropia A form of ocular misalignment characterized by an excessive convergence of the visual axes, resulting in a "cross-eye" appearance. An example of this condition occurs when paralysis of the lateral rectus muscle causes an abnormal inward deviation of one eye on attempted gaze.

D005099 Exotropia A form of ocular misalignment where the visual axes diverge inappropriately. For example, medial rectus muscle weakness may produce this condition as the affected eye will deviate laterally upon attempted forward gaze. An exotropia occurs due to the relatively unopposed force exerted on the eye by the lateral rectus muscle, which pulls the eye in an outward direction.
