Abstract

ABSTRACT The evaluation and management of vertical strabismus is more challenging and nuanced than that of horizontal strabismus. Vertical strabismus often results from a variety of restrictive or paretic causes, which can be further characterized as either acquired or congenital. In some cases, identifying the correct etiology of the strabismus can mean uncovering a potentially life-threatening condition, such as a brain tumor or stroke. The keys to identifying the correct diagnosis are, first and foremost, a careful history, and secondly, a detailed examination. The characteristics, etiologies, and evaluation of vertical strabismus will be reviewed here.
