Hirschberg corneal reflex test was performed before CT scanning by the same ophthalmologist; additionally, the objective strabismus angles were measured by synoptophore and recorded.

The synoptophore test was performed in 37 cases to record the objective deviation angles: the horizontal deviation degrees ranged from -10 to 40[degrees] (10.1[degrees] [+ or -] 13.2[degrees]), with a positive value representing esotropia and a negative value representing exotropia; the vertical deviation ranged from 0 to 35[degrees] (9.2[degrees] [+ or -] 10.2[degrees]), with a positive value representing hypertropia and a negative value representing hypotropia.

The vertical deviation of EC was also in accordance with the synoptophore results.
