Medial Strabismus in Dogs: A Neurological Insight

A condition where the eye turns inward towards the nose.

A stroke-like event affecting a specific part of the thalamus, reducing blood flow.

On the opposite side of the body (or brain).

A condition mimicking abducens nerve paralysis, though not directly caused by it.

Loss of balance and coordination resulting from damage to the vestibular system.

A medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to visualize internal structures in the brain.

A small area of brain damage due to a lack of blood flow.

Neural pathways that transmit signals to suppress inappropriate motor signals.

A cranial nerve that controls eye movement.

Eye muscle that pulls the eye in towards the nose.

A condition where the eye turns inwards.

Stroke in a specific part of the thalamus, reducing blood supply.

Opposite side of the body (or brain).

Loss of balance from damage to the vestibular system.

Small area of brain damage due to reduced blood flow.

Failure of eye movement outward (abduction), not due to a problem with the abducens nerve, but likely from increased convergence signals.

Eyes turning inward (cross-eyed).

Damage to a specific area in the thalamus that disrupts pathways controlling eye movement.

Stroke affecting the thalamus on the opposite side of the brain from the affected area.

Brain pathways that reduce the tendency for the eyes to turn inward.

Part of the brain that controls eye muscles.

Cross-eyed condition caused by a thalamic stroke or injury.

A neurological sign where the head is tilted to the right, often indicative of vestibular system impairment

The inability to walk on all four legs, due to weakness in all four limbs, often a neurological sign.

Loss of balance and coordination related to inner ear (vestibular system) damage.

The eye turns inwards, specifically toward the nose on the right side.

Inability to look upwards adequately, suspected as a disorder

Head shaking that happens occasionally and isn't constant

Damage to the part of the vestibular system in the brain.

Damage or dysfunction affecting the thalamus.

High cholesterol levels in the blood.

Elevated levels of C-reactive protein, suggesting inflammation or infection.
