Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
A monocular elevation deficiency is also known as Double elevator palsy. It suggests paralysis of both elevator muscles (the superior rectus and the inferior oblique) of same eye; resulting in clinical condition characterized by defective elevation in the entire range of upward gaze, (i.e. in primary gaze, in adduction and abduction) and a hypotropia in the primary gaze. It can be caused by paretic, restrictive or combined etiology. It may be either congenital or acquired. 50% presents with true ptosis due to associated hypotropia. 40% of the cases present with pseudoptosis. Pseudoptosis disappears when patient fixates with the paretic eye associated with hypertropia in uninvolved eye. We present a case of 6 years old male patient having right eye congenital monocular elevation deficiency with pseudoptosis
