Clinical Classification of Acquired Concomitant Esotropia

CONCLUSIONS: The recognition of decompensated micro-esotropia and esophoria, as well as distance esotropia of the elderly, avoids unnecessary additional investigations, which are indicated in any type of acute comitant strabismus if associated with any neurological sign or symptom (e.g., headaches, nausea, vertigo, imbalance, poor coordination, nystagmus, or papilledema). In the absence of neurological findings, there is no consensus about the indication of neuroimaging in large-angle acquired concomitant esotropia, but long-term follow-up of patients that do not undergo neuroimaging is strongly recommended in order to identify later occurring intracranial diseases. This is of particular importance with children.PMID:33930923 | DOI:10.1055/a-1425-5017
