[Imbalance of the postural system studied by light stimulation in children with strabismus].

The postural displacements on a statokinesimetric plateform of squint-eyed children during short monocular lighted stimulations show that their postural regulation is different from that of normal children of the same age. The provoked amplification of the displacements is larger, their direction is no more systematized but once adopted it remain stable. The orthoptic treatment associated with prismus lenses and postural reeducation often allows to double their postural performances.

[Oculo-orbital topometry studied by X-ray computed tomography in strabismic children].

Scanner examination of the oculo-orbital region of 20 squinting children shows, by mean of precise measures, in a first part abnormalities of orbital development (these abnormalities are always moderate). In a second part, this examination demonstrate asynergies of the horizontal oculomotor muscles, particularly an isolated hypermotricity of one medial ocular muscle in patent induction movements. Despite of irradiation of the crystalline lens this examination can be helpful in a preoperatory check-up.
