    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuro-ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Accommodative spasm is a condition where the eye's ciliary muscle over-contracts, leading to blurred vision and potentially strabismus.
    • Acute strabismus, or sudden eye misalignment, can be a symptom of various underlying neurological or ocular conditions.

    Observation:

    • A 17-year-old female presented with acute strabismus.
    • The strabismus was associated with accommodative spasm, indicating excessive ciliary muscle activity.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the importance of considering accommodative spasm in the differential diagnosis of acute strabismus in young adults.
    • Diagnostic evaluation involved assessing visual acuity, refractive error, and ocular motility.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management of accommodative spasm can help prevent persistent strabismus and visual disturbances.
    • This case underscores the need for a comprehensive approach to evaluating acute-onset strabismus in adolescents.
