Le traitement du strabisme par la toxine botulique.
Having used botulinum toxin for four years, we describe our experience in one hundred squinting patients and compare our results with the literature. We have good results in unilateral sixth nerve palsy and small deviations with binocular potential. Botulinum toxin can also be helpful in third and fourth nerve palsy, in Graves' ophthalmopathy, as an adjunct to transposition surgery and in cases of under- or overcorrections after surgery. In cases of muscle fibrosis and wide angle strabismus, the results are more disappointing. We describe an original method of conditioning the toxin in individual doses which eases the botulinum consultation processing.English AbstractJournal ArticleReviewSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Fibrose congénitale des muscles oculaires: un diagnostic pour plusieurs tableaux cliniques.
Case report of four members of a family presenting a congenital fibrosis syndrome. The first case has the typical presentation with bilateral ptosis, bilateral hypotrophic, variable horizontal deviation, and restricted ocular movements in all directions. The second case has a unilateral ptosis with Marcus Gunn phenomenon and bilateral restriction of elevation. In the third case, the condition is purely unilateral and associated with a sensorimotor neuropathy. A fourth member presents a unilateral ptosis. Three other members have a simple strabismus without any oculomotor anomaly.English AbstractJournal ArticleSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Subjective Visual Horizontal and Stabilometer Findings in Patients with Unilateral Severe Vestibular Dysfunction
Cognitive and balance functions of astronauts after spaceflight are comparable to those of individuals with bilateral vestibulopathy
IntroductionThis study compares the balance control and cognitive responses of subjects with bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) to those of astronauts immediately after they return from long-duration spaceflight on board the International Space Station.MethodsTwenty-eight astronauts and thirty subjects with BVP performed five tests using the same procedures: sit-to-stand, walk-and-turn, tandem walk, duration judgment, and reaction time.ResultsCompared to the astronauts' preflight responses, the BVP subjects' responses were impaired in all five tests. However, the BVP subjects' performance during the walk-and-turn and the tandem walk tests were comparable to the astronauts' performance on the day they returned from space. Moreover, the BVP subjects' time perception and reaction time were comparable to those of the astronauts during spaceflight. The BVP subjects performed the sit-to-stand test at a level that fell between the astronauts' performance on the day of landing and 1 day later.DiscussionThese results indicate that the alterations in dynamic balance control, time perception, and reaction time that astronauts experience after spaceflight are likely driven by central vestibular adaptations. Vestibular and somatosensory training in orbit and vestibular rehabilitation after spaceflight could be effective countermeasures for mitigating these post-flight performance decrements
