NARANJO FERNANDEZ, Rosa María et al. Pulley instability as a cause of strabismus. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2019, vol.32, n.3, e769.  Epub 01-Sep-2019. ISSN 0864-2176.

Characterization of extraocular muscle pulleys has had great relevance in the physiopathology of ocular motor balance. The mechanical effect of the functional pulley is to change the axis of action of the muscle in keeping with the orientation of the eyeball. Pulley location or stability disorders may create incomitant strabismus patterns. It is important to be aware of these anomalies because standard surgical procedures do not correct pulley displacement. A search was conducted on the Infomed platform of papers published about the topic in the past ten years.

Palabras clave : pulleys; extraocular muscles; incomitant strabismus.
