Everything you want to know
A type of strabismus caused by paralysis or weakness in a specific nerve or muscle controlling eye movement, rather than a general imbalance in the eye muscles.
Injury or damage to one of the cranial nerves (the 3rd, 4th, or 6th) responsible for eye movement, or a stroke, head injury, tumor, diabetes, or neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
It's considered one of the most serious types of strabismus, since it's often a sign of an underlying neurological issue, not just an eye problem.
