We studied 42 infants with congenital esotropia with and without abducting nystagmus. Hemispheric visuallyevoked potentials did not document any asymmetry of the retinogeniculostriate projections similar to those documented in albinotic animals and humans. This study does not substantiate the thesis that some forms of esotropia may be due to genetically determined anomalies of the anterior visual pathways.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
