[Dissociated deviation. A strabismus of cortical origin].

Background: We undertook this study to determine the cortical alterations related to the origin of dissociated deviation.

Methods: This was a prospective, descriptive and observational study that included 10 children with diagnosis of dissociated horizontal deviation, without previous evidence of neuronal damage. Manual, cerebral and ocular dominance were determined, as well as sensorial state and visual perceptual profile.
