Children’s inability to turn their eyes upward can be caused by orbital trauma, extraocular muscle paralysis, orbital tumor, intracranial disease, endocrine disease and other factors.
1. Orbital trauma: trauma to the orbital area can cause fracture of the orbital wall, which can lead to extraocular muscle embedded segmentation, and then eye movement is limited, and the eyeball can not be turned upward.
2. Paralysis of extraocular muscles: when the nerves innervating extraocular muscles such as abducens nerve and motoneuron nerve are paralyzed, it can lead to limitation of eye movement and inability to rotate the eyeball upward.
3. Orbital tumors: when tumors occur in the orbital area, it can lead to the compression of the eyeball, which will limit the movement of extraocular muscles and prevent the eyeball from turning upward.
4. Intracranial diseases: when brain tumor, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other intracranial diseases occur, it can lead to paralysis of extraocular muscles, resulting in failure to turn the eyes upward.
5. Endocrine diseases: when thyroid-related eye disease occurs in children, it can also cause eye lesions, and the extraocular muscles can be fibrotic, resulting in the inability to turn the eyeball upward.
When children cannot turn their eyes upward, they should consult a doctor as soon as possible. Under the guidance of specialists, they should actively take appropriate treatments to help alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms as soon as possible.
