Esotropía aguda durante una queratoconjuntivitis adenovírica

Abstract

Acute acquired comitant esotropia is a rare manifestation of strabismus that has been used to describe an acute late-onset of esotropia with diplopia in a previously orthotropic individual. It often occurs in older children and adults and has been associated with multiple etiologies. Despite the multiple reports conducted its cause is still controversial. We describe a young patient with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis with an acute comitant esotropia. He had no underlying diseases and regained stereo acuity after surgical alignment of both eyes.
