Abstract
Stabismus refers to a muscle imbalance that results in improper alignment of the visual axes of the two eyes. It may be divided into paralytic and nonparalytic strabismus. Paralytic strabismus is primarily a neurologic problem ; nonaralytic strabismus is more strictly an ophthalmologic problem. Characteristic clinical disturbances result from lesions of the third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerves. Lesions of the sixth nerve result in a paralysis of lateral or outward movement and a crossing of the visual axes. We present a case of paralytic strabismus in 24-year-old female who recovered by Oriental medicine, including acupuncture and herbal medicines.
