title: Computed tomography scanning in the evaluation of ocular motility disorders.
abstract: Ocular muscle disturbances (strabismus) are common disorders affecting two to four per cent of the population. Until recently, CT and MRI have not been used extensively in the diagnosis of congenital and acquired conditions causing strabismus. In this article the value of these scanning techniques in terms of more appropriate therapeutic intervention and further insight into the pathophysiology of these conditions is detailed.
