Notably, three cases occurred in children younger than 11 years.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Case series of five patients with ocular neuromyotonia following proton beam therapy or conventional radiation.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Five cases of ocular neuromyotonia were identified following radiation treatment of various pediatric brain tumors. Onset ranged from 5 to 142 months after radiation treatment. The abducens nerve/lateral rectus muscle was affected in three patients, and the trochlear nerve/superior oblique muscle was affected in two patients. Ages at symptom presentation were 4 years (intermittent head tilt), 9 years (intermittent blurry vision and head tilt), 10 years (intermittent blurry vision progressing to intermittent diplopia), 15 years (intermittent diplopia), and 17 years (intermittent diplopia). One patient improved with gabapentin. Two patients experienced spontaneous resolution.

Clinicians need to be aware that ocular neuromyotonia presents differently in children (who may not report diplopia) than in adults or adolescents (who typically report diplopia). Two children in this series never reported diplopia, only intermittent head tilt and blurry vision. Ocular neuromyotonia requires a high index of suspicion to diagnose, especially in children. Membrane stabilizers can be used effectively, but observation may be a valid option in children because spontaneous resolution was seen. <b>[<i>J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus</i>. 2022;59(5):338-343.]</b>.</p>","PeriodicalId":519537,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus","volume":" ","pages":"338-343"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39805955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
