Another
pseudo-squint
Photo by Professor Chua Chung Nen
This 4 year-old boy was
brought to the clinic by her concerned parents regarding possible bilateral
esotropia. His vision was normal with central corneal reflexes and good ocular
movement. The apparent squint was caused by the large epicanthal folds.
Apparent squint in both eyes. More
so in the left than the right eye.
However, the corneal reflexes were
central.
By pinching the skin medially, the
eyes now appear central due to the exposure
of conjunctiva previously hidden by
the epicanthal folds.
