J AAPOS. 2012 Dec;16(6):575-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jaapos.2012.07.006.

Abstract

Abnormal angle kappa simulating strabismus has been described in cases of structural retinal disorders, such as retinopathy of prematurity, familial exudative vitroretinopathy, and retinochoroidal scars. We report a patient with abnormal vertical angle kappa caused by ectopic fovea and in the absence of any other identifiable eye disorder.
