“…Previous studies demonstrated that there were many psychiatric problems in patients with strabismus. 6 , 7 The frontal gyrus played an important role in emotion. 8 A previous study proved severely depressed patients with cortical thickening in left frontal brain regions compared favourably with healthy control (HCs).…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to use amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) to investigate local features of spontaneous brain activity in patients with congenital comitant strabismus and clarify their relationship with emotional and psychosocial problems.MethodsA total of 20 patients with congenital comitant strabismus (ten males and ten females), and 20 healthy controls (ten males and ten females) closely matched in age, sex, and education underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. The ALFF method was used to assess local features of spontaneous brain activity. Congenital comitant strabismus patients were distinguished from healthy controls by receiver operating characteristic curve. Correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationships between the observed mean ALFF signal values of the different areas and the Chinese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.ResultsCompared with healthy controls, patients with congenital comitant strabismus had significantly lower ALFF in the bilateral medialfrontal gyrus and higher values in the bilateral cerebellum posterior lobe and left angular gyrus. In the congenital comitant strabismus group, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-depression score showed a negative correlation with the ALFF signal values of the bilateral medial frontal gyrus (r=−0.550, P=0.012) and a negative correlation was noted between the mean ALFF signal values of the left angular gyrus and strabismus duration (r=−0.515, P=0.020).ConclusionCongenital comitant strabismus mainly involves dysfunction in the bilateral medial frontal gyrus, bilateral cerebellum posterior lobe, and left angular gyrus, which may reflect the underlying pathologic mechanism of congenital strabismus.

“…To date, however, this hypothesis has not been tested. Finally, as noted above, elevated rates of strabismus have been found in people with schizophrenia [59] , in children at risk for schizophrenia [45,46] , and in people with social phobia [60] . Because strabismus leads to suppression of input from the weaker eye, it is associated with reduced binocular vision and reduced depth perception.…”

Space and Objects: On the Phenomenology and Cognitive Neuroscience of Anomalous Perception in Schizophrenia (Ancillary Article to EAWE Domain 1)

Background/Aims: Perception of space and objects is a traditional focus within phenomenology, and disturbances in these aspects of perception among people with schizophrenia have long been discussed within phenomenological psychiatry. Despite this, there has been little empirical work on the causes and effects of most of these perceptual alterations in people with schizophrenia. Progress towards this goal can be accelerated by the use of EAWE (Examination of Anomalous World Experience), an interview-based tool to elicit, categorize, and quantify abnormal perceptual and other experiential phenomena. Methods: In this brief paper, we review the main types of disturbances in space and object perception in schizophrenia - as described by phenomenologists, clinicians from other theoretical orientations, and experimental psychopathologists - as a first step in a research agenda to achieve a better integration of the clinical and experimental literatures. Results/Conclusion: This review indicates that in some cases the cognitive and neurobiological mechanisms of altered space and object perception in schizophrenia are relatively well understood, while in other cases there exist only plausible hypotheses. In still other cases, however, almost nothing is known. Moreover, a fundamental hypothesis of phenomenological psychiatry - that perceptual changes are related to disturbances in the sense of self - has yet to be investigated actively. From this context, we offer suggestions for future research and suggest general research designs that may be useful for advancing progress in this area.

“…Significantly higher were the CDI (P = 0.001) and SCARED (total score (P = 0.004), social phobia (P = 0.0001) and separation anxiety (P = 0.05) scores of strabismus patient than the control group. The authors concluded that there was a relationship between anxiety, depression, social phobia and children with strabismus, as evidenced by their data (13). Karaman et al (2016) in Turkey measured the effect of eye trauma on the mental health and quality of life in 20 patients aged 5 to 18 and their parents.…”

Objective: The aim of this article is to review the interface between psychiatry and ophthalmology at several levels, such as the influence of psychopharmacology on eye disorders, the occurrence of psychiatric symptoms in eye diseases, and the neuroophthalmological examination methods supporting the validity of psychiatric diagnoses. Materials and Methods: We searched the PubMed computer database for the key words “Psychiatry” and “Ophthalmology” on the 28th of August, 2018 to obtain relevant articles which were consequently summarized. Results: The results showed that most patients with ocular disease simultaneously have one or more psychiatric symptoms. We also found a prevalence of eye-related side effects in patients who use psychiatric drugs. At the same time, we observed that some ophthalmology methods of diagnostics can be used as diagnostic tools in psychiatry. Conclusions: Most studies showed a significant relation between psychiatry and ophthalmology, such as eye symptoms and diseases following long-term use of psychotropics as well as psychiatric symptoms and syndromes in patients with eye disorders. Our review may be beneficial to psychiatrists, ophthalmologists, and, last but not least, the patients themselves.
