Skew Deviation: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

CONCLUSION: Skew deviation, a not uncommon clinical condition, should be promptly recognized when binocular vertical diplopia cannot be interpreted by trochlearis and oculomotor nerve lesion, myasthenia gravis, or orbital pathology. Maddox rod, cover test, Parks-Bielschowsky three-step, and other tests should help to establish the diagnosis. The prognosis depends on etiology, but it is commonly favorable; the majority of patients recover spontaneously after less than a year. More invasive management options should be discussed thereafter. PMID: 27471949 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
