2. EPICANTHUS-TELECANTHUS-HYPERTELORISM
Telecanthus is often associated with many congenital disorders such as Down syndrome, fetal alcohol
syndrome, Cri du Chat syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
6. EXTRAOCULAR MUSCLES AND THEIR
FUNCTION
Medial rectus -adduction
Lateral rectus -abduction
Superior rectus-elevation, adduction, & intortion
Inferior rectus-depression, adduction, & extortion
Superior oblique –depression, abduction, & intortion
Inferior oblique-elevation, abduction, & extortion
7. SIN IS RADICAL: MNEUMONICS CAN BE FUN
• The vertical recti and the oblique muscles are also called cyclo-vertical muscles.
• Both superior cyclovertical muscles are intorters and inferior cyclovertical muscles are
extorters
• SIN= superior muscles are intorters
• vertical actions are opposite; the superior oblique is a depressor and the inferior oblique is
an elevator.
• RAD=Recti are ADductors
• The RAD mnemonic is useful to recollect that Recti are ADductors but
• best efficient and tested in abducted position
• it is vice-versa for the oblique muscles
