Clinical Characteristics of Non-accommodative Intermittent Esotropia

Abstract

We recently encountered cases of non-accommodative esotropia with intermittent esotropia observed in both far and near vision; good visual acuity and binocular visual function; variation in strabismic angle; and abnormalities on electroencephalogram (EEG). Although non-accommodative esotropia has been studied by Costenbader [1] and von Noorden [2] et al., its signs and symptoms have not been fully clarified. Therefore, we studied 17 patients with non-accommodative intermittent esotropia with common clinical symptoms (age: 3–14 years), and recognized these cases as representing new clinical entity.
