  Compact objects have an intrinsic anisotropy due to the presence of strong
magnetic fields that cause considerable modifications on the equations of state
(EoS). In this work, we study the impact of this anisotropy in the size and
shape of magnetized strange quark stars using an axially symmetric metric in
spherical coordinates, the gamma-metric. The results are compared with those
obtained with the standard Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations for the
parallel and perpendicular pressures independently. Differences in the results
are discussed.
