RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004948
Annotation: do not confuse with EXOTROPIA, eye turning outward
Scope Note: A form of ocular misalignment characterized by an excessive convergence of the visual axes, resulting in a cross-eye appearance. An example of this condition occurs when paralysis of the lateral rectus muscle causes an abnormal inward deviation of one eye on attempted gaze.
