Question
“What is the difference between pediatric superior oblique paresis and superior oblique muscle paresis?”
Answer
“Unilateral superior oblique muscle paresis refers to the simultaneous paralysis of the superior rectus and inferior oblique muscles in one eye. Clinical manifestations include the affected eye showing downward deviation, often accompanied by horizontal strabismus and ptosis. This ptosis is usually pseudo- or mixed-type, leading to misdiagnosis.”
