[Ophthalmological symptoms of infantile cerebral palsy].
136 patients with infantile cerebral palsy (C.P.) aged between 9 months and 24 years were examined in a special ophthalmology clinic for disabled children. 56% revealed strabismus, which was accompanied by variation in the concomitant squint angle and/or nystagmus in over two thirds of the cases. Strabismus divergens is over 3 times more frequent than in normally developed children. Strabismus in C.P. is more or less independent of the stage of refraction. There is no connection between the different types of C.P. and the various forms of strabismus. 6% of the cerebral paretic children showed gaze palsy combined with nystagmus on attempting to look down.
