This document discusses various types of vertical eye movement disorders including: principles of cyclovertical deviations; the Park 3 step test for diagnosing superior oblique palsy; classifications of incomitant and comitant vertical deviations including dissociated vertical deviation, inferior oblique overaction, and superior oblique palsy; diagnostic tests and treatments for these conditions; and references for further information.

Cyclovertical deviation
2. Right eye hyperdeviation
Left eye covered and right forced to fixate
Left hypotropia of
same magnitude
True vertical tropia
Left -same position
Right DVD
Left eye raises
under cover
B/L DVD
Left hypotropia of
less magnitude
Combination
3. Principles in cyclovertical
deviations
? Incomitant hyperdeviation in horizontal plane -Oblique muscle
? Comitant hyperdeviation in horizontal plane - Vertical rectus
? Most common causes of a true vertical tropia - fourth nerve palsy.
? If the deviation is incomitant in the horizontal plane or is long-
standing and comitant, perform a head-tilt test .
? In a case of superior oblique palsy, the clinician must assume the
palsy is bilateral until it is proven otherwise
4. Park 3 step test
? Primary position C which eye ?
? Gaze ?
? Head tilt ?

Sensitivity of the three-step test in diagnosis of superior oblique
palsy Ajay M. Manchandia et al J AAPOS. 2014 December ; 18(6): 567C571. doi:10.1016/j.jaapos.2014.08.007.
8. 1.Dissociated vertical deviation
? Etiology-
? 50% of patients with infantile
esotropia
? Clinical features-
? Head tilt
? Excycloduction of the elevated eye
and incycloduction of the fixating
eye
? Latent nystagmus
10. ? Diagnostic test
1. Spielmanns translucent
occluder
2. Bielschowsky phenomenon
3. Red filter test
? Measurement
? Using Red filter
? Using base down prism
12. Condition Treatment
IOOA & mod. DVD Recession with
anterior positioning IO
IOOA & Severe DVD Recession with anterior positioning
IO +
Superior rectus-recession 7-10 mm
DVD & no IOOA: Superior rectus-recession 7-10 mm +
Inferior rectus resection
13. Inferior Oblique Muscle Over action
? Etiology
1. Primary
2. Secondary
? Clinical Features
? Management
? Weakening procedure on the
inferior oblique muscle
14. Dissociated vertical
deviation
Inferior oblique over
action
Elevation In adduction abduction
and primary postion
Maximal in adduction
never in abduction
Superior oblique action May over act Usually under action
V pattern Absent Present
Incycloduction on
refixation
Present Absent
Saccadic velocity of
refixation movement
10C200/s 200C400/s
Latent nystagmus Often present Absent
Bielschowsky
phenomenon
Often present Absent
15. Superior Oblique Muscle Over action
? Clinical Features
1. Overdepression in
adduction.
2. Associated with exo
? Management
? Superior oblique tendon
weakening procedure
16. 4.Superior Oblique Muscle
Paralysis
? Most common Single cyclovertical muscle paralysis.
? Etiology
? Congenital vs acquired
? Head trauma
? Vascular problems of the central nervous system,
? Diabetes mellitus, or a brain tumor
21. Maddox wing
? The amount of cyclophoria is determined by asking the patient to move
the red arrow so that it is parallel with the horizontal row of numbers
