A report covering 80 cases of esophoria in which surgery was performed. All the patients had previously suffered from severe headache and other complaints. Preoperative treatment consisted of full prismatic correction. The power of the prisms was measured by the "Polatest" method. We observed that

OBJECTIVE To report a case of acute comitant esotropia successfully treated with suboccipital decompression in a 9-year-old male patient with Chiari I malformation. METHODS Interventional case report. METHODS A 9-year-old male with Chiari I malformation had acute onset of diplopia, headache, and

The aim of this report is to investigate the possible causes of acute acquired onset of transient esotropia (AATE) in children and to help to differentiate ophthalmoplegic migraine (OM) from accommodative spasm (AS). A case of an 8-year-old Caucasian female affected by AATE and diplopia is

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine whether children's headache drawings can distinguish between pseudotumor cerebri and migraine. BACKGROUND Headache features associated with pseudotumor cerebri (pseudotumor; idiopathic intracranial hypertension) are nonspecific and are difficult to distinguish

The authors present a case with a presumed neurologic cause of late onset esotropia. The first symptom was sudden occurrence of esotropia at the age of 3 3/4 years. An accommodative esotropia could be ruled out after the prescription of glasses. The squint angle showed significant variations at

Arachnoid cysts are congenital benign intracranial collections of cerebrospinal fluid. Most arachnoid cysts are small and asymptomatic. They are usually located in the temporal fossa. Classically described complications result from compression of adjacent structures and include neurologic

We report the case of an 8-year-old boy who presented with headaches, optic disc edema, and left eye esotropia. He had recently returned to the United States after living in Kenya for approximately 3 years. His brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multifocal lesions with significant perilesional

OBJECTIVE We present the case of a patient treated for intracranial germ cell tumor in which elements of craniopharyngioma were found in the residual tumor mass. RESULTS A 17 year old patient presented with a history of secondary amenorrhea. She deteriorated with headache and left eyelid drop,

Previous studies have shown that botulinum toxin can be an important adjunct to management of convergence spasm. However, we have not experienced the same level of success in our cohort of patients. Using retrospective review, we collected data on patients presenting to our department with

We describe the case of an eight-year-old girl with complaints of headaches and blurred vision (uncorrected visual acuity: 0.1 decimal) that showed on examination miotic pupils, pseudomyopia, no ocular motility restrictions, and no associated neurological disease. After initial treatment with

METHODS A 38-year old female with diplopia and esotropia, with limitation of ocular abduction in both eyes, with full abduction after doll's head rotation also being observed. She was diagnosed with spasm of the near reflex. Treatment with injections of botulinum toxin in both medial rectus has

BACKGROUND Brain tumors in children often involve the visual system, but most retrospective series are by neurologists or oncologists. In this study we highlight the ophthalmic findings of outpatient children with visual complaints and/or strabismus who, based on ophthalmic examination, were
