title: [Classification of congenital superior oblique palsy based on principal component analysis].
abstract: An attempt was to classify unilateral congenital superior oblique palsy principal component analysis. Each principal component was calculated by taking a linear combination of an eigenvector of the correlation matrix with a standardized original variable. The variables selected for the analysis were vertical deviation in the nine diagnostic positions of 51 cases measured by a synoptometer. The cumulative contributive percent of principal components showed that 88.5% of the variation were accounted for by the first three principal components. The first principal component accounted for 56.7% of the variation in samples indicating the extent of superior oblique palsy in which vertical deviation increases or decreases proportionately. The second principal component accounted for 20.6% of the variation of samples indicating the extent of the incomitance of vertical deviation with a vertical change of gaze. The third principal component accounted for 11.1% of the variation in the sample indicating the extent of the vertical deviation with a horizontal change of gaze.
