    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A 13-year-old boy experienced intermittent esotropia and diplopia triggered by exercise. This unusual condition, present since childhood, resolved spontaneously after physical activity ceased.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Intermittent esotropia and diplopia can manifest in various forms.
    • Exercise-induced visual disturbances are rare but warrant investigation.

    Observation:

    • A 13-year-old male presented with a history of intermittent diplopia since age 6.
    • Symptoms occurred during vigorous exercise and resolved within 30 minutes of cessation.
    • Initial examination showed orthophoria, but post-exercise revealed 14 prism diopters of distance esotropia.

    Findings:

    • Neurological and imaging studies (CT, MRI) were unremarkable.
    • The esotropia resolved gradually over 30 minutes post-exercise.
    • This represents a unique case of exercise-induced intermittent esotropia.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering exercise as a trigger for visual symptoms.
    • Suggests a potential transient neuromuscular or accommodative mechanism.
    • Further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology of exercise-induced esotropia.
