Double elevator palsy, Knapp procedure, hypertropia, innervational surgery, monocular elevation deficiency, strabismus surgery, supranuclear palsy
This paper reports the results of surgery for supranuclear monocular elevation deficiency. Contralateral superior rectus maximal recession was undertaken without interfering with the superior oblique tendon position, transection of the superior oblique to the superior rectus frenulum and directly suturing...

Cerebellar degeneration, diplopia, esotropia, lateral rectus paresis
Acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease is well described but under-recognised. The pathogenesis of cerebellar esotropia is controversial. It is suggested it may be a result of disruption to central vestibular pathways. This article reports a case series of seven adults...

visual development, accommodation, vergence, hyperopia, esotropia
In this excellent review article, the authors discuss how some hyperopes avoid strabismus but also ask why the youngest infants escape strabismus and older patients go on to decompensate. The review considers a number of related aspects and their inter-relations...
