Results: out of 264 patients(139 F,125 M) intermittent exotropia was most common(70.45%) followed by exotropia with neurological association(14.01%). we found that m/c neurological association was developmental delay(45.94%) followed by seizure with developmental delay(10.08%) and the least common was cerebral haemorrhage(5.40%).
