YH 37 yo F Diagnosis ? Permanent Botox induced vertical misalignment ? Skew deviation following acoustic neuroma surgery

Discussion Persisting hypotropias following protective ptosis induced by botulinum neurotoxin PL Heyworth, JP Lee Eye 1994; 8 (pt 5): case reports of permanent superior rectus weakness and vertical deviation Require surgical correction ? Prolonged occlusion led to breakdown of fusion ? Contracture of ipsilateral IR
