    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Large-angle infantile esotropia can spontaneously decrease without intervention. However, late complications like inferior oblique overaction may still develop, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Ophthalmology
    • Strabismus Research

    Background:

    • Infantile esotropia is a common form of strabismus in infants.
    • Large-angle esotropia often requires surgical correction.
    • Spontaneous resolution is rare but documented.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of large-angle infantile esotropia were observed.
    • Minimum follow-up was 37 months.
    • No surgical or corrective lens intervention was used.

    Findings:

    • Spontaneous decrease in the angle of esotropia to less than 10 prism diopters occurred in all cases.
    • Bilateral inferior oblique overaction developed in all three patients.
    • Latent nystagmus and dissociated vertical deviation were observed in two patients each.

    Implications:

    • This study suggests that some cases of large-angle infantile esotropia may resolve spontaneously.
    • The development of specific complications warrants further investigation.
    • Long-term monitoring is crucial even in cases of spontaneous improvement.
