Abstract:
Divergence paralysis is a rare clinical entity that causes a comitant esotropia at distance. While this is usually benign and self-limited, there are reports of divergence paralysis associated with brain tumors, central nervous system syphilis, trauma, and multiple sclerosis. We studied a 14-year-old girl who presented with diplopia and was found to have divergence paralysis. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed a large pontomedullary glioma.
