Six children aged 5-11 developed acute non-accommodative esotropia with double vision. Neurological tests were negative, suggesting an unusual presentation of esotropia with an unknown cause.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Neurology

Background:

  • Acute acquired comitant esotropia is characterized by sudden onset of large-angle esotropia, diplopia, and minimal refractive error.
  • This condition typically presents with significant visual disturbances and requires prompt diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an unusual presentation of acute non-accommodative esotropia in children.
  • To discuss the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and management of this specific esotropia subtype.

Main Methods:

  • Case series describing six children aged 5 to 11 years.
  • Clinical examination and neurological assessment, including CT scans, were performed.

Main Results:

  • All six children presented with acute non-accommodative esotropia and diplopia.

  • Neurological examinations and CT scans yielded negative results for all participants.
  • The etiology of the esotropia remained undetermined in these cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study highlights an unusual presentation of esotropia in children with no apparent neurological cause.
    • Further research is needed to understand the undetermined aetiology of this specific type of esotropia.
