Exodeviations (from Greek εξοτρὀπια, εξο "exo" meaning "to exit" or "move out of”) or divergent squint is primarily a neurologic dysfunction occurring as a result of certain obstacles to development or maintenance of binocular vision and/or defective action of the medial rectus muscles. Small exophorias are found in high frequency in the normal population and 60-70% of normal newborn infants have a transient exodeviation that resolves by 4-6 months of age.1,2,3 Intermittent exotropia is an exodeviation intermittently controlled by fusional mechanisms. Unlike a pure phoria, intermittent exotropia spontaneously breaks down into a manifest exotropia.
