Skew deviation as presenting ocular sign of a third ventricle colloid cyst. 1981

D Kömpf, and B Szepan

A heretofore undescribed case of mesencephalic skew deviation in association with a third ventricle colloid cyst is reported. Evidence is provided tha the oculomotor symptoms were caused by irritation of midbrain tegmentum structures, which proved to be critical for vertical eye movements.

D013285	Strabismus	Misalignment of the visual axes of the eyes. In comitant strabismus the degree of ocular misalignment does not vary with the direction of gaze. In noncomitant strabismus the degree of misalignment varies depending on direction of gaze or which eye is fixating on the target.
