Sensory fusion disruption syndrome.
Unlike the typical manifestation of acquired strabismus, patients with sensory fusion disruption syndrome are unable to fuse targets even when bifoveally aligned under ideal clinical conditions. This condition usually follows trauma and a period of coma. These patients suffer from chronic diplopia which is not relieved by optical or surgical means. Recognition of this entity may result in more effectual management. As a phenomenon, it serves as a potential clue to physiological composition of binocularity.
