Atypical onset of refractive accommodative esotropia: A case report

چکیده
A 27 year old female presented with symptoms of diplopia, headache, ptosis, ataxia, and macropsia. She was subjected to extensive and repetitive medical evaluations on 3 separate occasions over a 2 year period resulting in a delay in diagnosis, expense of the evaluations and unnecessary treatment. Ophthalmologic consultation uncovered a delayed onset of refractive accommodative esotropia. Signs and symptoms of refractive accommodative esotropia can simulate other neurologic diseases in adults.
