ABSTRACT

Up-shoot is the elevation of the eye during adduction (strabismus sursoadductorius). Patients with up-shoot complain about the disappearance of the eye during inward movement. There is also loss of fusion during side gaze, which may cause functional impairment. This clinical entity is mostly seen with Duane’s syndrome. It is also seen with exotropia (XT), esotropia (ET) and as an isolated clinical picture. If it is with exotropia, there is usually V-pattern strabismus (von Norden, 1996a).
