Impact of Long-term Abnormal Head Position on Carotid Artery Flow in Congenital Fourth Nerve Palsy
In patients with congenital fourth nerve palsy, long-term abnormal head position may alter carotid artery flow, reducing vessel diameter, and increasing resistive index on the non-paralytic side. These changes may contribute to complications, suggesting that timely surgical intervention might help prevent carotid flow alterations, facial asymmetry, and musculoskeletal issues.
