Preferred Label : exotropia;
MeSH definition : A form of ocular misalignment where the visual axes diverge inappropriately. For example,
medial rectus muscle weakness may produce this condition as the affected eye will
deviate laterally upon attempted forward gaze. An exotropia occurs due to the relatively
unopposed force exerted on the eye by the lateral rectus muscle, which pulls the eye
in an outward direction.;
MeSH synonym : divergent strabismus; strabismus, divergent;
CISMeF synonym : exodeviation;
Wikipedia automatic translation : Strabismus;
MeSH Hyperonym : Exodeviations;
MeSH hyponym : exophoria; secondary exotropia; monocular exotropia; alternating exotropia; primary exotropia; Exotropia, Secondary; Exotropia, Monocular; Exotropia, Primary; Exotropia, Alternating;
