I am so glad that I found your video. I think you saved me at least two hours that I would have wasted trying to understand the head tilt. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your specific condition. They can provide you with the most accurate and personalized advice. Thank you
Hi sorry for late reply. We ask the patient to adduct their eye during the examination of the 4th cranial nerve (CN IV) because the superior oblique muscle, which CN IV controls, primarily functions to depress the eye when it is adducted. This position helps isolate the function of the superior oblique, allowing us to better assess if there is any dysfunction in the 4th cranial nerve. Thank you .
sorry for the late reply. The best treatment for superior oblique palsy depends on the severity of the condition. Here are some common approaches: Observation: Mild cases might improve on their own over time without any treatment. Prism Glasses: These can help reduce double vision by adjusting the way light enters the eyes. Eye Exercises: Specific exercises might help strengthen the affected muscles. Botox Injections: These can temporarily improve muscle function. Surgery: In more severe cases, surgery might be necessary to correct the alignment of the eye muscles. It's important to consult with an ophthalmologist or an eye specialist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition.
@@MedMadness it's congenital, I'm 32 year old. Head tilt from the early age, double vision showed up 4, 5 years ago and on certain angles only. Now the problem is posture, asymmetrical face growth and difficulty in studying
Thank you for sharing more details. Since your superior oblique palsy is congenital and you are experiencing significant symptoms such as head tilt, double vision, postural issues, and asymmetrical facial growth, it is essential to seek specialized care. Here are some options that might be beneficial: 1. Comprehensive Ophthalmologic Evaluation: Consult with an ophthalmologist who specializes in strabismus (eye misalignment) to assess your condition thoroughly. 2. Orthoptic Therapy: Engage in specialized exercises aimed at improving eye muscle coordination and strength. 3. Customized Prism Glasses: These can help manage double vision by altering the light entering your eyes. 4. Botox Injections: These may provide temporary relief by relaxing the affected muscles. 5. Surgical Intervention: In cases where non-surgical options are insufficient, surgery may be considered to correct the alignment of the eye muscles. Each case is unique, so it’s important to discuss these options with your eye specialist to determine the best treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Wishing you the best in your treatment journey.
Squint (strabismus) can indeed be a challenging topic to study. I'm glad to be able to help make it a bit easier to understand through my videos. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
