PY - 2016 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Strabismus has a prevalence of 3%–5% in the general population and affects both genders equally with a 1:1 ratio. It is a condition where lack of coordination of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) prevents the eyes from aligning on a single focal point. The muscle groups that comprise the EOM are the four rectus muscles (medial, lateral, superior, and inferior) and the two oblique muscles (superior and inferior). Strabismus can be congenital, acquired, or secondary to another condition. Most cases are idiopathic; however, strabismus has been linked to chromosomal defect, metabolic disorders, congenital abnormalities, and cardiac diseases (Table 149-1).
