Multiple sclerosis presenting as acute acquired comitant esotropia in a pediatric patient

Published by Elsevier Inc..

Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is a rare form of esotropia in the older pediatric population. Although the workup for pediatric AACE varies, patients often do not undergo lab testing and imaging, because the overwhelming majority of cases are idiopathic. We describe AACE as the presenting manifestation of multiple sclerosis in a pediatric patient. His only other finding was a horizontal jerk nystagmus isolated to end gaze. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed extensive demyelinating lesions, with a small thalamic lesion possibly accounting for his esotropia. Our case underscores the need for extensive diagnostic workup for any ophthalmic or neurologic findings or symptoms accompanying AACE.
