Résumé
To provide a systematic approach to the child with a new squint. Review of the current available literature. Squint is a common presentation in the paediatric population. Although the parents' primary concern may be cosmetic, a new squint in childhood may be the first sign of a serious or life-threatening ocular or neurological pathology. Thorough assessment and timely referral are essential.
