Abstract
- A 14-year-old white boy, the second of 5 brothers, showed a congenital deficit of ocular motility in his left eye, characterized by limited elevation, marked retraction of the globe and narrowing of the palpebral fissure during upward gaze. The ocular movements in the other directions of gaze were normal with normal binocular vision and stereopsis. The characteristics of the motility defect and the results of the forced duction test suggest the possibility of an anomaly of superior rectus scleral insertion rather than of an innervational defect or of a muscular fibrosis.
