- Strabismology
Context:
- Cyclic esotropia is an exceptionally rare form of strabism.
- Characterized by alternating periods of manifest and latent strabismus.
- Literature review and clinical case presentation.
Purpose:
- To report a case of conditioned cyclic esotropia.
- To review the literature and clinical features of this rare condition.
- To emphasize optimal treatment strategies.
Summary:
- A case of conditioned cyclic esotropia is presented.
- The condition involves a rare intermittent convergent squint.
- Effective treatment involves immediate operative correction.
Impact:
- Highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention for cyclic esotropia.
- Suggests that delaying surgery can lead to permanent strabismus.
- Provides clinical insights for managing this rare ophthalmological condition.
