Descriptor exotropía
Entry term(s) estrabismo divergente
exoforia
Scope note: Ausencia de alineación ocular en la que los ejes visuales divergen de forma no apropiada. Por ejemplo, la debilidad del músculo recto internol puede producir esta afección ya que el ojo afectado se desvía al lado externo al intentar fijar la vista hacia adelante. La extropia ocurre debido a la fuerza, sin oposicion relativa, que se ejerce sobre el ojo por el músculo recto externo, que empuja el ojo hacia afuera.

Scope note: A form of ocular misalignment where the visual axes diverge inappropriately. For example, medial rectus muscle weakness may produce this condition as the affected eye will deviate laterally upon attempted forward gaze. An exotropia occurs due to the relatively unopposed force exerted on the eye by the lateral rectus muscle, which pulls the eye in an outward direction.
Annotation: do not confuse with ESOTROPIA, eye turning inward
