Does Head Tilt Influence Facial Appearance More Than Head Turn?

Purpose: To evaluate the frequency of facial asymmetry parameters in patients with head tilt versus those with head turn.

Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study was performed on 155 cases, including 58 patients with congenital pure head turn due to Duane retraction syndrome (DRS), 33 patients with congenital pure head tilt due to upshoot in adduction or DRS, and 64 orthotropic subjects as the control group. The facial appearance was evaluated by computerized analysis of digital photographs of patients' faces.

The Correlation between Hypertropia and Head Tilt in Congenital Unilateral Superior Oblique Muscle Palsy.

Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between the angle of deviation in different gazes and the amount of head tilt in patients with congenital unilateral superior oblique muscle palsy (SOP).

Methods: This case series study was performed on 20 consecutive SOP patients with head tilt. Based on the Bielschowsky three-step test, the angle of deviation was measured in different gazes.
