Congenital esotropia--a documented case report

R London, J R Griffin, H F Mazer

    American Journal of Optometry and Physiological Optics
    |October 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenital esotropia surgery in infancy did not guarantee a permanent cure. Long-term follow-up revealed residual exotropia, managed with vision training, but persistent esotropia tendencies remained.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Ophthalmology
    • Strabismus

    Background:

    • Congenital esotropia is a common form of strabismus in infants.
    • Surgical intervention is often the primary treatment for congenital esotropia.
    • Long-term outcomes and the potential for recurrence or development of other strabismus types require further investigation.

    Observation:

    • A case study of a child diagnosed with congenital esotropia.
    • The patient underwent strabismus surgery at 13 months of age.
    • At 11 years old, the patient presented with a 20-delta left exotropia.

    Findings:

    • Vision training over one year led to partial stereopsis achievement.
    • Despite training, a small-angle esotropia persisted when the patient actively controlled her exophoric tendency.
    • This suggests that early surgery may not fully resolve underlying binocular vision issues.

    Implications:

    • The findings highlight the complexity of congenital esotropia and its management.
    • Long-term monitoring and potentially non-surgical interventions like vision therapy are crucial.
    • This case underscores the need for comprehensive, individualized treatment plans for strabismus.
