title: Comitant strabismus.
abstract: This article reviews 14 of the past year's important published works on comitant strabismus, referring to the most interesting developments related to subjects such as epidemiology of comitant strabismus and prevalence of esotropia and exotropia in pathologic conditions like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and prematurity-factors influencing the surgical success in strabismus and functional outcomes of early surgery in essential infantile esotropia. Relevant anatomic and physiologic findings on extraocular muscle function are also discussed, which may contribute to our knowledge on the pathophysiology of congenital strabismus.
