purpose: to present a case of spontaneous resolution of essential esotropia case report: a 22-month-old girl presented with eye deviation since the age of 4 month. in the first examination, visual acuity of both eyes was c+s+m+. the patient had 35 prism diopters of alternative esotropia in primary position and also bilateral inferior oblique overaction (iooa). there was no significant refractiv...

the results of standard and augmented surgical treatment of partial accommodative esotropia have been compared in this study.in this sequential matched randomized double blind clinical trial, we studied 48 patients (96 eyes) with partial accommodative esotropia between the ages of 13 to to 144 months, referring to strabismus clinic of farabi eye hospital between 1999-2000. these patients were g...

Infantile esotropia is a common ophthalmic disorder in childhood. It is often accompanied by profound maldevelopment of stereopsis, motion processing, and eye movements, despite successful surgical realignment of the eyes. The proper timing of surgery has been debated for decades. There is growing evidence from clinical and animal studies that surgery during the early critical periods enhances ...

The authors report two cases of suddenly deteriorated accommodative esotropia with amblyopia during part-time occlusion therapy. A 7-year-old girl with right accommodative esotropia, which was well controlled, showed marked increase in esodeviation after part-time occlusion and regained orthophoria without occlusion. This phenomenon was repeated. Recession of both medial recti was performed and...

Binocularity was assessed in children who developed large, constant esotropia following bilateral lateral rectus recessions for intermittent exotropia. Nine such patients were identified who warranted medical rectus recession. Seven were finally aligned within 6 prism dioptres after secondary surgery. Stereopsis measured 50 seconds or better in six of these patients and 200 seconds of arc in th...

Purpose: Cyclic esotropia is a rare disease with alternating cycles of recurrent that has been reported after strabismus surgery, head trauma, and psychological stress. We report patient who presented accommodative deteriorated to cyclic was managed successfully.Case Summary: A 2-year-old girl no previous ophthalmological or neurological illnesses esotropia. The alternate prism cover test showe...

The author presents his arguments to state that the Duane’s syndrome type III of the Huber’s classification does not exist. He takes the chance of those arguments to show why the medial rectus muscle recession in Duane’s syndrome with esotropia cripples the adduction more that it does in esotropias of other origins. He shows also why one must recess also the sound eye’s medial rectus in Duane’s...

Cyclic esotropia is a rare and poorly understood condition normally treated by correcting the deviation measured on the squinting day. Control in some patients with this condition can be gained by correcting their refractive errors, thereby improving acuity. We report on an adult patient who developed cyclic esotropia after unilateral traumatic aphakia with failed contact lens wear whose squint...

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...

Nelson: We’re going to discuss when to treat congenital esotropia. A 6-month-old child comes into your office with an esotropia of 65 prism diopters, alternate fixation, and a cycloplegic refraction of +2.50. Dr. Morrison, what is your treatment plan? Morrison: A child who’s clearly alternating fixation has a large angle of deviation that I assume to be an infantile strabismus. My cutoff for pr...
