Abstract
Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is mainly characterized by sudden onset, accompanied by diplopia, without extraocular muscles paralysis or ocular motility disorders. In recent years, the incidence of AACE has been increasing, researchers have found that this phenomenon may be related to the widespread use of electronic devices and the increase in the number of people working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, its neural mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. This article primarily reviews the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of AACE from the perspectives of etiology and treatment methods, aiming to provide direction for future in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis and treatment approaches of this disease.

Yu X, Pan W, Tang X, Zhang Y, Lou L, Zheng S, Yao K, Sun Z. Efficacy of augmented-dosed surgery versus botulinum toxin A injection for acute acquired concomitant esotropia: a 2-year follow-up. Br J Ophthalmol 2024; 108:1044-1048. [PMID: 37620123 DOI: 10.1136/bjo-2023-323646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) injection and augmented-dosed surgery in the treatment of acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE), and explore potential risk factors associated with recurrence. METHODS A total of 104 patients diagnosed with AACE between October 2020 and January 2021 were included and voluntarily chose to undergo augmented surgery or BTXA injection. The follow-up assessments ended in November 2022. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to identify potential factors that influence the dose-response of bilateral medial rectus recession (MRrec). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses and Cox proportional hazards models were performed to evaluate rate and risk factors for AACE relapse. RESULTS A total of 31 AACE patients chose augmented-dosed esotropia surgery, and 73 chose BTXA treatment. During the 2-year follow-up, the surgical group achieved more stable postoperative results with no recurrence of diplopia, while only 68.68% (95% CI 55.31% to 78.79%) patients achieved orthophoria in the BTXA group. For patients undergoing BTXA treatment, hours of near work per day were demonstrated to be a significant risk factor for AACE relapse (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.67). The dose-response of augmented-dosed bilateral MRrec was positively correlated with preoperative deviation angle (R2=0.833; β=0.043, 95% CI 0.031 to 0.055; p<0.001). CONCLUSION Our findings provided quantitative evidence that augmented-dosed surgery would achieve more stable and favourable surgical outcomes for AACE patients compared with BTXA injection. However, BTXA treatment is still proposed for patients with small deviation angles due to its advantages of reduced trauma, operational simplicity, low cost and quick recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of adults with comitant non-accommodative esotropia. DESIGN Retrospective case series METHODS: Retrospective review of medical records of patients 18 to 60 years old with comitant esotropia who underwent strabismus surgery at a tertiary eye care center between 2014 and 2023. The etiology of esotropia was categorized into three groups based on the disparity between near-distance angles of deviation: 1. basic esotropia (ETBA); 2. esotropia divergence insufficiency pattern (ETDI); or 3. esotropia convergence excess pattern (ETCE). The main outcome measures were strabismus characteristics and motor and sensory surgical outcomes. Surgical motor success was defined as a deviation that measured ≤ 10 prism diopters (PD). RESULTS Of the 219 that met the inclusion criteria, most patients were female (140, 64%) and had a mean age of 36.7 ± 12.3 years (range 18-60 years). The majority were myopic (157, 72%) and reported diplopia (176/219, 80.3%). The ETCE group had the largest mean deviations at both distance (45.5 ± 11.5 PD) and near (64 ± 12.3 PD) while the ETBA group had the largest ranges at distance (31 ± 13.5 PD, range 3-90) and near (30 ± 15 PD, range 2- 85). Bilateral medial rectus recession (BMR) and unilateral recess-resect (R&R) procedures were performed with equal frequency (both 48%). Motor and sensory success were achieved more often with R&R than BMR, although only motor success was statistically significant (87.8% vs. 73.2%, p=0.0375 and 93.3% vs. 85.5%, p=0. 15 respectively). At the last encounter, 88.1% (119/135) of patients with pre-operative diplopia achieved single binocular vision. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of the pattern of esotropia, strabismus surgery in adults with comitant non-accommodative esotropia resulted in good motor and sensory outcomes.

[PMID: 38302534 PMCID: PMC11126407 DOI: 10.1038/s41433-024-02945-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES We investigated the clinical features and change in incidence of AACE in South Korea. SUBJECTS/METHODS We reviewed the medical records of AACE patients who visited the Strabismus Clinic of at a tertiary referral hospital from 2007 to 2021. Clinical features were retrieved, including age at onset, angle of deviation, refractive errors, neuroimaging findings, and treatment outcomes. For each year, the proportion of new AACE patients among all new patients who visited the clinic, and the ratio of new AACE patients to new intermittent exotropia (IXT) patients, were analysed to estimate the incidence of AACE. RESULTS Overall, 59 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 24.7 ± 9.3 years; the incidence of AACE was highest in teenagers and young adults. No patients had a history of visual occlusion, recent physical or psychological stress, or uncorrected myopia, unlike to classic AACE; moreover, no patients exhibited abnormalities in neuroimaging. There was a significantly increasing trend in the proportion of new AACE patients among all new patients (linear regression analysis, R2 = 0.778, p < 0.001). There was also a significantly increasing trend in the ratio of new AACE patients to new IXT patients (R2 = 0.803, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A new type of AACE, distinct from the classic types, is increasingly common in South Korea; this increasing incidence also appears to be a global phenomenon. Large-scale investigations are needed to define the exact clinical features, incidence, and pathophysiology of this new type of AACE.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2024:10.1007/s00417-024-06484-z. [PMID: 38625449 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-024-06484-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The study aims to compare morphology and location of crystalline lens between acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) patients and control subjects, both before and after cycloplegia. METHODS This is a prospective and observational clinical study. Morphological and locational parameters of the crystalline lens in 53 AACE patients and 32 control subjects were assessed before and after cycloplegia using CASIA2 system, which represents the latest swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Cycloplegic refraction was recorded by administering 1% atropine in patients younger than 12 years and 1% cyclopentolate in those > 12 years old. Morphological parameters included anterior radius of curvature (ARC), posterior radius of curvature (PRC), lens thickness (LTH), and equivalent diameter of lens (LED). Locational parameters comprised lens decentration (LD) and lens tilt (LT). Comparison of these parameters before and after cycloplegia were conducted between AACE and controls. Additionally, the study analyzed and compared the changes in these parameter post-cycloplegia. RESULTS Our findings suggest no significant difference in morphological parameters including ARC, PRC, LTH and LED between AACE patients and controls before or after cycloplegia. However, 2D-modeling data in the 0° meridian revealed that variation post-cycloplegia of LD (lens shift) in right eyes was different in AACE patients, measuring - 0.03(0.08) [median(interquartile range)] which was significantly distinct from the control group, exhibiting a measurement of 0.01(0.06) (z = - 2.373, p = 0.018). In left eyes, a similar trend was observed with lens shift in the 0° meridian being 0.02(0.06) in AACE, significantly differing from control group's measurement of - 0.02(0.08) (z = - 2.809, p = 0.005). Further, correlation analysis revealed that larger temporal shift of lens was associated with greater changes in ARC (r = 0.294, p = 0.006) and LTH (r = - 0.230, p = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS The morphological features of the crystalline lens were similar in AACE patients and controls; however, the change of lens location by cycloplegia was observed only in AACE patients, suggesting an association with excessive accommodation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is an uncommon subtype of esotropia characterized by sudden and usually late onset of a relatively large angle of comitant esotropia with diplopia in older children and adults. METHODS A literature survey regarding neurological pathologies in AACE was conducted using databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, BioMed Central, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) in order to collect data for a narrative review of published reports and available literature. RESULTS The results of the literature survey were analyzed to provide an overview of the current knowledge of neurological pathologies in AACE. The results revealed that AACE with unclear etiologies can occur in many cases in both children and adults. Functional etiological factors for AACE were found to be due to many reasons, such as functional accommodative spasm, the excessive near work use of mobile phones/smartphones, and other digital screens. In addition, AACE was found to be associated with neurological disorders, such as astrocytoma of the corpus callosum, medulloblastoma, tumors of the brain stem or cerebellum, Arnold-Chiari malformation, cerebellar astrocytoma, Chiari 1 malformation, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, pontine glioma, cerebellar ataxia, thalamic lesions, myasthenia gravis, certain types of seizures, and hydrocephalus. CONCLUSIONS Previously reported cases of AACE with unknown etiologies have been reported in both children and adults. However, AACE can be associated with neurological disorders that require neuroimaging probes. The author recommends that clinicians should perform comprehensive neurological assessments to rule out neurological pathologies in AACE, especially in the presence of nystagmus or abnormal ocular and neurological indications (e.g., headache, cerebellar imbalance, weakness, nystagmus, papilloedema, clumsiness, and poor motor coordination).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several studies investigated preoperative clinical features of patients with basic-acquired nonaccommodative esotropia (BANAET); however, their sample sizes were small, and they did not compare the clinical features among cases that needed different surgery times. The main purpose of this study is to compare the preoperative clinical features of patients with BANAET managed with one surgery with patients who underwent two or more strabismus surgery over 10 years. METHODS This historical cohort study was performed on the hospital records of 13,252 Iranian strabismic patients who underwent surgery at Farabi eye hospital, Tehran, Iran, from 2012 to September 2022. Of those, 2102 cases with BANAET were selected as the sample size. Data collected included sex, age at the time of first surgery, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refractive error, presence of amblyopia, angle of deviation, and times of surgery. RESULTS The mean age was 18.9 ± 15.6 [1200 (57.1%) males and 902 (42.9%) females] and the median age was 14 years. In 1599 (76.1%) patients, esotropia was managed with one surgery; however, 342 (16.3%) cases were managed with two surgeries and 161 (7.6%) patients underwent three or more surgeries. The mean angle of horizontal deviation at distance and near in patients managed with two and ≥3 surgeries was significantly higher than in cases managed with one surgery (P < .001). Amblyopia was observed in 289 (18.1%) patients who were managed with one surgery, 69 (20.2%) patients with two surgeries and 43 (26.7%) patients with three or more surgeries (P < .001). Patients with BANAET managed successfully with only one surgery were younger, had better CDVA, lower astigmatism and less horizontal angle of deviation at distance and near than those who underwent two or more surgeries (all P < .001). DISCUSSION The higher astigmatism, lower CDVA, greater angle of horizontal deviation, and higher frequency of amblyopia were found in the preoperative examinations of BANAET patients managed with two or more surgeries compared with cases managed with only one surgery.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the cortical deficits of patients with acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) using the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) technique. Methods Rs-fMRI signals from 25 patients with AACE and 25 matched controls were collected. The repeated-measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) test and two-sample t-test were used to investigate statistical differences of the amplitudes of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) signals and correlation analysis was performed to validate the relationship of signal change and clinical features. Results The AACE group showed decreased ALFF in both hemispheres symmetrically (t = 0.38, P = 0.71), with peak t in both middle occipital gyrus. The ALFF signal from the upper left inferior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with the age of onset (r = 0.62, P = 0.0008), and the ALFF signal from the right superior temporal gyrus was negatively correlated with the near work hours (r = 0.63, P = 0.0008). The ALFF signal in the left fusiform gyrus was positively correlated with both near (r = 0.48, P = 0.01) and far (r = 0.44, P = 0.03) deviation, whereas it was only positively correlated with far deviation (r = 0.44, P = 0.03) in the right. Besides, the age of onset and the near work hour were independent factors of signal changes. Conclusions Using the ALFF signal of rs-fMRI, we found functional deficits in the primary visual cortex and dorsal pathway in patients with AACE. There were functional changes in the fusiform gyrus, and the greater the deviation angle, the higher the changing level. These findings reveal the association of AACE and the visual center, giving us more clues about the treatment of AACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An unusual case of acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) with congenital paralytic strabismus in the right eye is reported. CASE SUMMARY A 23-year-old woman presented with complaints of binocular diplopia and esotropia of the right eye lasting 4 years and head tilt to the left since 1 year after birth. The Bielschowsky head tilt test showed right hypertropia on a right head tilt. She did not report any other intracranial pathology. A diagnosis of AACE and right congenital paralytic strabismus was made. Then, she underwent medial rectus muscle recession and lateral rectus muscle resection combined with inferior oblique muscle myectomy in the right eye. One day after surgery, the patient reported that she had no diplopia at either distance or near fixation and was found to be orthophoric in the primary position; furthermore, her head posture immediately and markedly improved. CONCLUSION In future clinical work, in cases of AACE combined with other types of strabismus, we can perform conventional single surgery for both at the same time, and the two types of strabismus can be solved simultaneously.

PURPOSE The number of patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) has been increasing in Japan. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the number and characteristics of patients with AACE examined in our institution during a 12-year period. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with AACE aged < 30 years who suddenly developed diplopia or esotropia and were examined in Hyogo College of Medicine Hospital from January 2008 to December 2021. We investigated the association of the yearly changes in the number of patients with the age category, refractive error category, AACE type, esotropia type, and use or nonuse of smartphones. RESULTS The total number of patients with AACE was 171, and this number significantly increased each year (Pearson correlation coefficient, 0.9450; p < 0.0001). Significant increases were found among students in junior high school and beyond, patients with myopia, patients with Bielschowsky type AACE, and patients with basic esotropia (p < 0.0001 for all). We compared two age groups, elementary school students and below versus junior high school students and above, and found that the rate of increase was significantly higher in the junior high school students and above (estimate, 1.951; p < 0.0001), and the non-myopia group and myopia group and found that the rate of increase was significantly higher in the myopia group (estimate, 1.891; p < 0.0001). Excessive use of smartphones was confirmed in 82 of 133 patients, and the rate of the increase in the number of patients with AACE was significantly greater among patients with than without excessive use of smartphones (estimate, 1.098; p = 0.0009). CONCLUSION This study confirmed a significant increase in the number of patients with AACE in recent years. The excessive use of smartphones may be associated with the increase in AACE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A remarkable increase in the number and proportion of surgical patients with acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) has been noted in our hospital in recent years. We aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics and associated risk factors of this increasing number of strabismus in last 5 years. METHODS Medical information was obtained in 62 AACE patients and 73 orthotropic patients as control group completed questionnaires and examination items from March 2017 to May 2020. Data included age at onset, refractive error, angle of deviation, binocular vision, eye care habits, and optical quality of spectacles. RESULTS Of the 62 AACE patients, the mean ± standard deviation age at onset was 25.3 ± 8.5 years, with 47 (75.8%) cases showing myopia, 9 (14.5%) showing emmetropia, and 6 (9.7%) showing hypermetropia. Among the AACE patients, 35 (56.5%) performed >8 h of close work daily and 36 (58.1%) reported late-night use of digital devices. When compared with the control group, the risk factors identified for AACE included long durations of close work (odds ratio [OR], 11.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.53-38.91; P < 0.001) and immoderate late-night use of digital devices (OR, 14.29; 95% CI, 4.10-49.72; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that young adults accounted for the majority of the growing number of individuals affected by AACE in last 5 years, and excessive close visual activities and immoderate late-night use of digital devices were found to be associated with the onset of AACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) is an unusual presentation characterized by acute onset of esotropia after infancy. For patients with AACE of adulthood, the outcome of surgery, which is a common treatment, often shows successful recovery of stereopsis. However, whether surgically corrected patients with AACE of adulthood achieved balanced eyes is yet unclear. METHODS Here, we used a binocular phase combination paradigm to quantitatively assess the ocular dominance of 22 surgically aligned patients with AACE of adulthood, which all had regained normal stereopsis after the surgery and 14 adult controls with normal vision. The sensory eye dominance was quantified as the interocular contrast ratio, termed balance point, at which each eye contributed equally to the perception of cyclopean grating. RESULTS We found that, normal controls had a mean balance point value close to unity (0.96 ± 0.01), whereas adult AACE patients exhibited apparent interocular imbalance (0.76 ± 0.04), which was significantly different from control group (Mann-Whitney U = 135, P < 0.001, two tailed). In addition, the balance point of adults with AACE didn't correlate with the interval between onset of esotropia and the surgery (r = - 0.262, p = 0.239), or the length of postoperative follow-up period (r = 0.127, p = 0.575). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that, for patients with AACE of adulthood whose eyes had been straightened, there is still residual sensory imbalance which may be a potential risk factor for AACE of adulthood.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze epidemiology, clinical features, and surgical outcomes of type III acute acquired concomitant esotropia (Bielschowsky esotropia (BE)). METHODS The medical charts of patients diagnosed with acquired concomitant esotropia between 2013 and 2021 were reviewed. Assessed data were age, gender, age at diplopia onset, age at the diagnosis, refraction, visual acuity, neuroimaging, diplopia onset, angle of deviation, stereopsis, surgical procedure, amount of surgery, and relapse of diplopia after surgery. Moreover, we investigated the correlation between the use of electronic devices and the onset of diplopia. RESULTS One hundred seventeen patients (mean age 35.07 ± 15.81 years) were included in the study. The mean delay to the diagnosis was 3.29 ± 3.62 years. Myopia range was 0 to 17 diopters spherical equivalent. 66,3% spent more than 4 hours a day using laptops, tablets, or smartphones at the onset of diplopia, and 90,6% presented a subacute onset. None showed neurologic signs or symptoms. Patients who underwent surgery were ninety-three, with a rate of surgical success of 93.6%, and a relapse rate of 17.2%. A negative correlation resulted between pre-operative deviation and age at diagnosis (ρ = -0.261; p<0.05), whereas factors associated with surgical failure were older age at diplopia onset (p = 0.042) and longer delay between onset and diagnosis (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION We registered an outstanding increase in prevalence of BE, which could be related to the exponential increase in the use of electronic devices for professional, educational, and recreational purposes. A prompt diagnosis and an augmented dose of surgery allows good motor and sensory results.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the surgical amount of unilateral medial rectus recession and lateral rectus resection (RR) in patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) versus common forms of esotropia and to provide dose-response reference for surgical planning in AACE. DESIGN Retrospective study. PARTICIPANTS Consecutive patients who underwent unilateral RR for AACE or common forms of esotropia correction from January 2018 to January 2022. Only patients who achieved motor and sensory success with a minimum follow-up of 3 months were analyzed. METHODS Group differences in the amount of medial rectus (MR) recession and lateral rectus (LR) resection were analyzed using multivariate regression models. Surgical dose responses in AACE were analyzed using multivariable regression models. Regression models were performed with and without adjustment for clinical confounders. Piecewise analysis was used to detect segmented results. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Group difference in surgical amount and dose responses of unilateral RR in AACE. RESULTS Fifty-four patients with AACE and 98 patients with common forms of esotropia were included. To correct comparable deviations, surgical amount performed was significant larger in AACE patients, with the adjusted group differences of 0.49 mm (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.34-0.65 mm; P < 0.001) in MR recession and 1.68 mm (95% CI, 1.25-2.11 mm; P < 0.001) in LR resection in patients with deviation < 40 prism diopters (Δ) and with a group difference of 1.22 mm (95% CI, 0.76-1.68 mm; P < 0.001) in LR resection in those with deviation ≥ 40 Δ. In AACE patients, in the adjusted model taking into account the intercept, dose responses of MR recession and LR resection in patients with deviation < 30 Δ were 5.11 Δ/mm (95% CI, 0.98-9.23 Δ/mm; P = 0.02) and 2.51 Δ/mm (95% CI, 0.57-4.45 Δ/mm; P = 0.02), respectively, and for those with deviation ≥ 30 Δ, the dose response of additional LR resection was 5.48 Δ/mm (95% CI, 4.56-6.40 Δ/mm; P < 0.001) to correct remaining deviation beyond 30 Δ. CONCLUSIONS These findings provide quantitative evidence that augmented-dose unilateral RR should be performed in AACE for favorable surgical outcomes. The new surgical dose calculation proposed provides reference for surgical planning.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical factors influencing the prism adaptation response of acquired non-accommodative comitant esotropia (ANAET) and evaluate the surgical outcomes. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective observational study. METHODS This study assessed patients with ANAET who underwent strabismus surgery based on the results of a short prism adaptation test (PAT). Patients wore Fresnel trial prisms based on alternate prism cover tests in outpatient clinics. The cover test was then performed after 15-20 minutes; if the deviation increased, the power of the prism was increased to neutralize the angle. The test was repeated until the angle was stable. Patients were classified as either prism builders (angle increased by ≥ 10 prism diopters [PD] compared with the entry angle) or prism non-builders (angle increased by < 10 PD). The following clinical characteristics were noted: age at onset, age at surgery, duration of esotropia, refractive error, angle of deviation, presence or absence of intermittent esotropia at near, and pre- and postoperative sensory status. RESULTS A total of 41 patients (median age, 15.4 years) were evaluated. The mean (standard deviation) spherical equivalent refractions were -3.03 (3.33) diopters (D) and -3.05 (3.23) D in the right and left eyes, respectively. Twenty-seven (66%) patients were prism builders. The prism builders had greater myopia (builders vs. non- builders, right eye: -3.97 [2.97] vs. -1.22 [3.33] D, P = .01; left eye: -4.08 [2.78] vs. -1.07 [3.20] D; P = .003), lower angle of deviation at near (median [interquartile range] 30.0 [20.0, 35.0] vs. 42.5 [35.0, 49.4] PD; P = .009), much more preoperative intermittent esotropia or esophoria at near (44% vs. 7%, P = .03) and diplopia (96% vs. 64%, P = .01), and better postoperative stereoacuity (50 [40, 110] vs. 100 [60, 400] arcsec, P = .02) than the prism non-builders. The overall success rate was 83%, without a significant difference between the two groups (builders vs. non-builders, 89% vs. 71%, P = .21). CONCLUSION In cases of myopic refractive error, a small entry angle with intermittency at near, and good binocularity, it is recommended that surgery is performed based on prism-adapted angle to prevent under-correction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) has been increasing dramatically in myopia. The aim of this study was to clarify whether fusional vergence dysfunctions exist in AACE with myopia and to explore the relationship between fusional vergence and myopia in AACE. METHODS This is a prospective clinical study. Adult AACE patients as well as controls (aged ≥18 years) both with myopia were prospectively recruited from October 2016 to August 2021. Refractive error and fusional divergence and convergence amplitude at distance were measured, as determined with a comprehensive refractor. The main outcome measures were the real value of the fusional divergence amplitude (calculated by subtracting the break point value from the angle of deviation) and the real value of the fusional convergence amplitude (calculated by subtracting the angle of deviation from the break point value). Two-sided p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. RESULTS Fusional vergence consisting of fusional divergence and fusional convergence in patients with AACE of adulthood was different from the controls (p < 0.001), with fusional convergence decreased and fusional divergence increased. In the linear regression analysis, spherical equivalents were significantly negatively correlated with fusional convergence (right eyes, p < 0.001; left eyes, p < 0.001) in patients with AACE of adulthood but not in controls. There was a significant difference in fusional convergence amplitude among different degrees of spherical equivalents (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Fusional vergence dysfunction exists in AACE of adulthood, which may be attributed to self-adaptation based on concomitant esotropia to maintain fusion in AACE. Fusional convergence was associated with degrees of myopia, implying the adaption would be weakened as the degree of myopia becomes serious.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the surgical results of the non-adjustable suture technique under general anesthesia for the correction of acute acquired comitant esotropia. Study design: Retrospective case study. Methods: Patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia who underwent corrective surgery from September 2008 to June 2018 were included. Surgical treatment was conducted based on the measured maximum angle after occlusion for at least 1 h; all surgeries were performed using the non-adjustable suture technique under general anesthesia. Motor success was categorized into three groups: good, ortho; fair, 2 to 8 prism diopters (PD); and poor, over 8 PD. Sensory success was divided into two groups: good (no diplopia with binocular vision) and poor (no stereopsis with diplopia). Results: 40 patients (21 male and 19 female, 28.78 ± 15.32 years old) were included. Preoperative esodeviation was 28.0 ± 12.8 PD. Mean refractive error was − 2.5 ± 2.5 D (spherical equivalent). After the occlusion of one eye, 14 patients (35%) showed an esodeviation increase of more than 5 PD. There were 70% good, 25% fair, and 5% poor outcomes regarding motor success. 96% of the patients demonstrated good sensory success. Conclusion: The non-adjustable correction based on the maximum angle after 1 h had a relatively excellent motor and sensory success rate.

Abstract
Background Many researchers have noticed that there is an increasing trend of Bielschowsky acquired comitant esotropia (ACE) in recent years related to excessive near work, but the exact pathogenesis and treatment methods have not been reported yet. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the clinical features of this ACE in adults and to evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin (BTX) injections in these patients. Methods This was a prospective consecutive case series of 47 patients with Bielschowsky ACE. BTX was injected bilaterally into the medial rectus muscle of 45 patients, and twenty-seven of them (27/45) completed 10 months of follow-up after their last injection. Angle of deviation, fusion, stereopsis, subjective assessment of diplopia were documented before and after BTX treatment, and repeated measures data were compared by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test or Analysis of variance. The relationship between BTX dosage and corrected esotropia was explored by the Regression analysis. Meanwhile, possible risk factors for ACE including time spent on near work, refraction error, patients’ personality, glasses wearing habits and duration of symptoms were recorded and analyzed with General Linear Models. Results The patients aged 32.32 ± 10.96 (range 15–53) years spent 8.34 ± 2.38 h on near work each day, and most myope habitually removed their glasses at near. Their chief complaint was distance diplopia, with more significant esotropia at distance (around 20 PD) than at near. This series of patients also exhibited perfectionist tendencies. However, most patients achieved orthophoria after BTX treatment, only with a mild residual esotropia (+ 3.96 ± 5.79 PD), which left them asymptomatic most of the time. Conclusion This group of ACE patients was characterized by diplopia with more significant esotropia at distance. Besides excessive near-work, habitually removing myopic glasses and perfectionist tendencies may also contribute to this type of ACE. Fortunately, bilateral BTX injection safely and effectively reduced the esotropia with complete resolution of symptoms, especially for those treated at an early stage.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the results of surgical treatment of acquired concomitant esotropia and its posible causes. METHODS Retrospective study of the patients with acute acquired esotropia that were operated on since 2017. Distance and near horizontal deviation, spherical equivalent and the excessive use of the tablets and smartphones were analyzed. A good sensorial outcome was considered when stereopsis was recovered and good motor outcome if horizontal deviation was ≤10 prism diopters at the end of the follow-up. RESULTS A total of 15 cases were included (60% women), mean age: 29.07 years (86.66% ≥16 years). Mean time since the beginning of the symptoms to the surgery was 23.3 months. Mean horizontal preoperative deviation was 19.73 ± 7.2 pd at near and 22.93 ± 7.3 dp at distance decreasing to 3.33 ± 3.8 pd at near and 3.86 ± 3.9 pd at distance (P < .001). The 66.6% had diplopía. The 46.66% had decompensated esophoria or microesotropia, 86,66 % myopia and the 33.33% referred excesive use of the tablets and smartphones. The medial rectus recession were done in 10 cases. A good motor outcome was obtained in the 93.33% of the cases and sensorial outcome in the 53.3% without diplopía. CONCLUSION Surgery was an excellent treatment to resolve the deviation and diplopia. The esophorias and microesotropias represented near the half of the cases and the excesive use of the tablets and smartphones were the third part of the sample. Most of the patients had myopia.

The effects of topical cycloplegics in acute acquired comitant esotropia induced by excessive digital device usage. BMC Ophthalmol 2022; 22:366. [PMID: 36088414 PMCID: PMC9463501 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-022-02590-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute acquired comitant esotropia induced by excessive digital device usage, especially smartphones (SAACE), has been increasing over the past few years. One suggested mechanism is convergence spasm induced by excessive near work, with refraining from digital device use considered to be an effective method for decreasing the degree of esodeviation. However, if symptoms persist and are untreated over time, recovery becomes more difficult. The present study evaluated the effects of topical cycloplegics on persistent SAACE untreated for over 1 year.
Methods
Patients with sustained SAACE that was untreated for over 1 year were evaluated. Digital device usage was discouraged and a topical cycloplegic, 0.4% tropicamide, was prescribed at bedtime. After obtaining informed consent, the 14 out of 23 enrolled patients who agreed to eye drop administration were defined as the study group, with the others serving as the controls. After a 3-month follow-up, patients who elected to undergo surgery were analyzed as the surgery group. Changes in esotropia angles, stereoacuity and diplopia complaints were evaluated after a 3-month follow-up.
Results
Esotropia angles decreased and stereoacuity improved after a 3-month treatment in the study group (P < 0.01). Diplopia disappeared in 13 patients (92.9%, totally disappeared or disappeared when using glasses with built-in prisms). Among 11 patients with untreated esotropia ranging from 1–3 years, decreases in esotropia angles were correlated to untreated esotropia duration (near: R = -0.6; distance: R = 0.7; both P < 0.05). Esotropia angles in the control group exhibited a tendency to increase while stereoacuity tended to deteriorate after the 3-month follow-up. As diplopia did not disappear in any patients, 7 elected to undergo surgery and were enrolled as the surgery group. While esotropia angles decreased in the study group, they were lower than the surgery group (P < 0.01), but higher than the control group (P < 0.01). Stereoacuity was worse in the control versus the study and surgery groups (both P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Results suggest short-acting topical cycloplegics are effective in SAACE patients with long untreated periods. Decreases in esotropia angles were negatively correlated to untreated esotropia duration, which suggests the necessity of early treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the clinical presentations, neuroimaging findings, and surgical outcomes in patients with acute acquired non-accommodative comitant esotropia (AACE). METHODS A retrospective review of records of all patients diagnosed as having AACE between January 2011 and December 2019 across three tertiary eye care centers was done. Cases with AACE onset after age 1 year were included. Patients were divided into two groups based on age of onset of esotropia: childhood (16 years or younger) and adult (older than 16 years). Surgical success was defined as postoperative horizontal deviation of 8 prism diopters (PD) or less at the last follow-up visit. RESULTS A total of 338 patients (220 males and 119 females; mean age at presentation: 12.60 ± 9.8 years) met the study criteria. The mean age at onset of esotropia in the childhood and adult onset groups was 3.61 ± 1.1 and 26.6 ± 8.7 years, respectively. There were significantly more individuals with myopia (30%) in the adult onset group compared to the childhood onset group (6%) (P = .004). Thirty-seven (16%) had positive neuroimaging findings (16.4% adult onset vs 9.4% childhood onset). A total of 148 (44%) patients underwent surgery for esotropia, and the overall success rate was 73%. Mean preoperative esotropia was comparable in either group (P = .20), but surgical success was better in the adult onset group (75.6% vs 66.3% in the childhood onset group). Mean duration of follow-up postoperatively was 13.6 ± 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Two-thirds of the patients had childhood onset of AACE. Intracranial pathology was found in 1 of 6 patients. Surgical success was better in the adult onset group, which was not influenced by preoperative esotropia, neuroimaging findings, or refractive status, but was dependent on age at onset of esotropia and duration between onset and intervention.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the efficacy of prismatic treatment in a step-by-step manner to reduce prismatic strength in acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) of 25 prism diopters (PD) or less. Methods In this retrospective comparative study, 36 patients with AACE with deviation angle ≤ 25 PD were treated with Fresnel prism in a step-by-step manner to reduce prismatic strength. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they regained orthophoria and were weaned off the press-on prisms within 1 year: (1) the treatment-success group, which consisted of patients who had their esotropia eliminated and were weaned off the press-on prisms within 1 year after prism correction, and (2) the treatment-continuing group, which comprised patients who needed to continue wearing a Fresnel prism at 1 year after the beginning of prismatic correction because diplopia and esotropia still existed. Clinical characteristics and cooperation were analyzed and compared between groups. Results Fourteen of 36 patients (38.9%) were weaned off the prism and regained orthophoria and binocular single vision within 1 year after prismatic treatment. Compared with the treatment-continuing group, the treatment-success group showed smaller deviation at near and distant fixations (P = 0.024 and P = 0.006, respectively) measured at the beginning of prismatic correction, a shorter time from onset to prismatic treatment (P = 0.02), and a greater percentage of patients exhibiting good cooperation (P < 0.001). Conclusions Prismatic treatment in a step-by-step manner to reduce prismatic strength can lead to good outcomes of motor alignment and binocular function in patients with AACE of 25 PD or less. Patients showing good cooperation, smaller angle of esotropia, and shorter duration from onset to treatment tend to eliminate esotropia and be weaned off press-on prisms within 1 year after prismatic correction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A remarkable increase in the number and proportion of surgical patients with acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) has been noted in our hospital in recent years. We aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics and associated risk factors of this increasing number of strabismus in last 5 years. METHODS Medical information was obtained in 62 AACE patients and 73 orthotropic patients as control group completed questionnaires and examination items from March 2017 to May 2020. Data included age at onset, refractive error, angle of deviation, binocular vision, eye care habits, and optical quality of spectacles. RESULTS Of the 62 AACE patients, the mean ± standard deviation age at onset was 25.3 ± 8.5 years, with 47 (75.8%) cases showing myopia, 9 (14.5%) showing emmetropia, and 6 (9.7%) showing hypermetropia. Among the AACE patients, 35 (56.5%) performed >8 h of close work daily and 36 (58.1%) reported late-night use of digital devices. When compared with the control group, the risk factors identified for AACE included long durations of close work (odds ratio [OR], 11.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.53-38.91; P < 0.001) and immoderate late-night use of digital devices (OR, 14.29; 95% CI, 4.10-49.72; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that young adults accounted for the majority of the growing number of individuals affected by AACE in last 5 years, and excessive close visual activities and immoderate late-night use of digital devices were found to be associated with the onset of AACE.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to identify the characteristics of acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) in young patients from a single institution; and clarify their relationship with the excess use of digital devices. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, observational. METHODS We extracted the clinical charts of patients aged between 5 and 35 years who presented at the Hamamatsu University Hospital with AACE symptoms from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018. The age of onset, angle of deviation, refractive errors, history of near work, including excess smartphone use, and treatment modality were retrieved. Patients were divided into three groups: CHILD (aged 5-12 years), JUNIOR (aged 13-17 years), and ADULT (aged 18-35 years) and statistically analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS Forty-one patients were retrieved, with a mean age at onset of 15.8 (5-28) years; eight in the CHILD group, 23 in the JUNIOR group, and 10 in the ADULT group. Refractive errors and age of patients were correlated, but were not significantly different among groups. The mean angle of deviation at distance was 28.0 ± 12.8 prism diopters (PD) and 28.6 ± 17.2 PD at near. The CHILD group showed the largest near-distant dissociation. History of excessive near work was found in all groups. CONCLUSION AACE was most commonly found in the JUNIOR group, especially those aged 15-16 years. AACE may encompass multiple diseases; using common diagnostic criteria and asking common questions regarding digital device usage is necessary to clarify the influence of digital device usage, and a multicenter prospective study is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the treatment efficacy of the preoperative base-out recovery point as the surgical target angle for acute acquired comitant esotropia. METHODS Prospective study. Twenty-two patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) underwent strabismus surgery based on the target angle of the preoperative base-out recovery point. The postoperative deviation, positive fusional vergence, and negative fusional vergence were evaluated and compared with those of 23 normal individuals. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 18.68 ± 19.48 months. At the last follow-up, 19 (86.4%) of 22 subjects had orthophoria, whereas 3 (13.6%) had minimal esophoria. The postoperative angle of deviation was significantly smaller than the preoperative angle of deviation at near (P < 0.001) and distance (P < 0.001). Postoperative sensory fusion was significantly better than preoperative fusion at near (P < 0.001) and distance (P < 0.001). The postoperative stereoacuity improved significantly after the surgery at near (P < 0.001) and distance (P < 0.001). Compared with the controls, the convergence and divergence amplitudes in the AACE patients were similar at distance (P > 0.05) but were still narrower at near (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Good alignment and binocular balance were obtained with the surgical target angle of the base-out recovery point in AACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is an uncommon form of strabismus. The main characteristics of AACE Type 2 in childhood are: acute onset of strabismus around 3 years of age, large and comitant angle of strabismus, absence of accommodative component, hyperopia of not more than 3 dpt, and measurable stereopsis. Strabismus surgery is urgently indicated in AACE Type 2 in order to avoid maldevelopment or loss of stereopsis. Therefore, in order to better describe the characteristics of AACE Type 2, we performed a retrospective analysis of patients previously seen in our clinic. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of data from patients who underwent strabismus surgery between October 2011 and September 2019 due to suspected AACE Type 2 could be confirmed during postoperative visits by evaluating ocular alignment and stereopsis at our hospital. Analysed data included: age and symptoms at first visit, visual acuity, refractive status, correction by glasses, age at surgery, period of time between first symptoms and surgery, surgical procedure, stereopsis and angle of strabismus (before surgery and 1 day, 3 months, and 12 months after surgery). Ethical approval was obtained from the Cantonal Ethics Committee of Zurich. RESULTS 18 patients (12 male, 6 female) with mean hyperopia of 1.4 ± 0.6 dpt were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria during the defined time period. Amblyopia was present at first assessment in two patients. Strabismus surgery was performed at 2.0 to 11.1 years of age and between 0.4 and 24.6 months after onset of symptoms. Surgery was performed within 6 months after onset of symptoms in 12/18 children. Before surgery, angle of strabismus at near was measured as 38 ± 10 prism diopters (PD) and was reduced after surgery to 3 ± 3 PD at 3 months and 2 ± 2 PD at 12 months. Stereopsis was confirmed in 5/18 patients one day after surgery and in 18/18 patients 12 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Our analysis showed that our patients with diagnosis of AACE Type 2 had mild hyperopia and large comitant non-accommodative esotropia; prognosis for recovery of stereopsis is excellent. Preoperative amblyopia does not exclude the diagnosis of AACE Type 2. Therapeutic intervention is advisable within a short period of time after first symptoms and the diagnosis of AACE Type 2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Classification and management of acquired concomitant esotropia is controversial. We sought to establish a simple clinical classification in order to determine in which cases further investigations in search of underlying pathologies are necessary. PATIENTS AND METHODS Observational retrospective study of the files of 175 consecutive patients examined in our unit between 2009 and 2018 for acute convergent strabismus. One hundred and nine patients were selected, after exclusion of infantile, incomitant, or mechanical esotropias, residual esotropias, and patients examined on a single occasion. All patients received a complete orthoptic and ophthalmological examination. We grouped the patients according to their common characteristics. RESULTS We established the following categories: 1. Acute esotropia of large angle (20 to 45 prism diopters [PD]), accompanied by mild hyperopia (mean 1.2 D) in children (n = 16) and moderate myopia (mean 3.7 D) in adolescents and adults (n = 13). 2. Decompensated micro-esotropia, which is distinguished from the other categories by the presence of abnormal retinal correspondence (n = 33). 3. Decompensated esophoria, with intermittent deviations of 5 to 30 PD, esotropia being compensated part of the time (n = 25). 4. Esotropia present only at a distance in patients over 50 years of age (n = 20). 5. Small-angle esotropia (< 15 PD) greater at a distance, associated with oculomotor cerebellar syndrome (n = 2). Complementary examinations (MRI or CT scan) were performed on 21 patients, leading to the discovery of a posterior fossa astrocytoma in a 4-year-old boy. CONCLUSIONS The recognition of decompensated micro-esotropia and esophoria, as well as distance esotropia of the elderly, avoids unnecessary additional investigations, which are indicated in any type of acute comitant strabismus if associated with any neurological sign or symptom (e.g., headaches, nausea, vertigo, imbalance, poor coordination, nystagmus, or papilledema). In the absence of neurological findings, there is no consensus about the indication of neuroimaging in large-angle acquired concomitant esotropia, but long-term follow-up of patients that do not undergo neuroimaging is strongly recommended in order to identify later occurring intracranial diseases. This is of particular importance with children.

Abstract
Purpose To identify the etiologies, clinical course and management of acute acquired comitant esotropia in Ramathibodi Hospital, Thailand. Methods Thirty patients who were diagnosed with acute acquired comitant esotropia at Ramathibodi Hospital from January 1 2017 to December 31 2019 were identified using electronic medical records, from which demographic, etiology, clinical course and management, laboratory, and neuroimaging data were collected. Results The etiologies of acute acquired comitant esotropia were Swan (16.67%), Burian–Franceschetti (30.00%), Bielschowsky (36.67%), Arnold Chiari malformation (3.33%) and decompensated esophoria (13.33%). Mean age of onset was 19.8 ± 18.3 years. Mean angle of esodeviation was 28.4 ± 12.1 prism diopters for distance fixation and 29.3 ± 11.8 prism diopters for near fixation. Refraction differed between age groups: children under 10 years had mild hyperopia (median +0.63 diopters, first quartile +0.25 diopters, third quartile +0.75 diopters) and teenagers (10–18 years old) had emmetropia to mild myopia (median +0.25 diopters, first quartile −2.50 diopters, third quartile +0.75 diopters), whereas adults had mild to moderate myopia (median −0.75 diopters, first quartile −5.25 diopters, third quartile ±0.00 diopters). Twelve patients (40.00%) were prescribed spectacles and surgical intervention was performed in 26 patients (86.67%). All patients except one case of Arnold Chiari malformation (96.67%) maintained normal binocular function and alignment following strabismus surgery or spectacles correction. Conclusion Bielschowsky was the most common etiology of acute acquired comitant esotropia in our study. We suggest that refraction should be performed in all patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia. Most etiologies were benign and might not require neuroimaging. However, neuroimaging is recommended in those with atypical presentations, such as nystagmus, headache, or cerebellar signs. Surgical intervention with a 0.5–1.0 mm increase in recession was effective for restoring ocular alignment and binocular function in our patients.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of unilateral medial rectus recession and lateral rectus resection (R&R) for patients with large-angle deviations of acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) without a neurological disease. Further, we have also suggested the surgical dosage of R&R for large-angle deviations of AACE. Methods This was a retrospective study of patients with AACE who underwent surgery and followed up after surgery for at least 6 months between September 2016 and March 2020. Among them, patients with ocular deviations of ≥30 prism diopters (PD) who underwent unilateral R&R were included. Results Seventeen patients with AACE were enrolled in this study (mean age, 23.5 years; four females). The mean amount of deviation was 40.00 PD at distance and near (range, 30–55 PD). Fifteen patients (88.2%) had myopia. The mean interval between the initial visit and surgery was 7.7 months (range, 4–20 months). All included patients had resolved diplopia after the surgery. Most patients with decreased stereoacuity displayed stereoacuity recovery after surgical treatment. At the final visit (mean follow-up period, 12.8 months), the mean angle of esodeviation was 0.82 PD (range, 6–0 PD) at distance and 0.47 PD (range, 4–0 PD) near. No patient displayed over-correction or adduction limitations in the operated eye. Conclusions The unilateral R&R procedure presented favorable surgical outcomes for patients with large-angle deviations of AACE. These results and proposed surgical dosage guidelines may be useful for surgeons in planning the surgical treatment of large-angle deviations of AACE.

Abstract
Background Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is a type of strabismus characterized by a sudden onset of large angle esotropia with diplopia, which often occurs in children after infancy, teenagers, and young adolescents. However, studies on the surgical outcomes of only adults are rare. The purpose of this article is to analyze the surgical outcomes for adult patients diagnosed with AACE. Methods Medical records of 24 patients who had undergone surgery for AACE were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measures were the final motor and sensory success rate after surgery and factors affecting motor and sensory outcomes. Motor success was considered alignment within 8 prism diopter (PD) at both near and distance and sensory success was stereoacuity ≥ 60 sec/arc. Results The preoperative mean esodeviation angles were 33.1 ± 10.4 PD at distance and 33.3 ± 11.2 PD at near. The mean period of postoperative follow up was 7.5 ± 4.5 months (range 1–8 months). The postoperative mean esodeviation angles at final follow-up time were 3.4 ± 6.1 PD at distance and 3.8 ± 6.7 PD at near. The surgical motor success rate at final follow-up was 79.2% (19/24). The sensory success rate at final follow-up was 50.0% (12/24). The factor affecting the motor outcome was the type of surgery (p < 0.05). The factor affecting sensory outcome was postoperative follow-up time (p < 0.05). Conclusions Surgery type appears to affect surgical motor outcomes in adults with AACE. Although the sensory outcome was favorable, it seems that regaining bifoveal fixation takes time.

Abstract
Background The treatment efficacy of botulinum toxin bilateral medial rectus injections for acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) in adult is not clear. We characterize the effects of botulinum toxin injection in the treatment of AACE, especially in patients over 14 years old, and compared it with surgical treatment. Methods In this prospective, nonrandomized, controlled clinical study, patients with AACE in our hospital from March 2017 to March 2020 elected to receive bilateral medial rectus injections of botulinum toxin or to undergo extraocular muscle surgery. Ocular position and stereopsis were evaluated before and after treatment. Results A total of 60 patients were treated: 40 patients in the botulinum toxin group, and 20 patients in the surgery group. The botulinum toxin group included 31 cases ≥ 14 years of age and 9 cases < 14 years of age. After 1–3 botulinum injections, the cumulative initial success rate was 95% (38/40), and the recurrence rate was 22.5% (9/40). Nine children < 14 years of age were treated successfully, without recurrence. In the surgery group, the initial success rate after surgery was 75% (17/20), and the recurrence rate was 20% (4/20). There was no significant difference between groups in the rate of success rate or the rate of recurrence (P > 0.05). Conclusion The injection of botulinum toxin has a good effect on AACE in adults and children. The outcomes achieved with injected botulinum toxin are similar to those achieved with surgery.

Abstract
Background To examine the clinical features of acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) and to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a single injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) on binocular visual function (BVF). Methods This retrospective, observational case series study enrolled patients with AACE examined from October 2018–May 2019. BTXA was injected into the both medial rectus muscles. The refractive error, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), stereoacuity, vergence, accommodation, the horizontal angle of deviation, and the gradient accommodative convergence/accommodation (AC/A) ratio were measured pre- and post-BTXA injection. Data pre- and postinjection were compared by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. A Spearman correlation coefficient was calculated to explore the relationships between demographic characteristics and BVF. Results Twenty-two AACE cases were included. Compared with preinjection deviation, the postinjection deviation in the primary position was smaller for near (p < 0.001) and distance (p < 0.001) fixation at 3 months after injection (BTXA). Furthermore, convergence was better for near (p = 0.003) and distance (p < 0.001) fixation, divergence was better for near (p = 0.021) and distance (p < 0.001) fixation, accommodation was better in the right (p = 0.011) and left (p = 0.004) eyes, and the gradient AC/A ratio was better at the third month after injection (p = 0.001). Stereoacuity was improved in 11 (50%), unchanged in 5 (22.73%) and decreased in 6 (27.27%) patients. The preinjection stereoacuity (p = 0.013, r = 0.522) and preinjection deviation for near (p = 0.015 r, = − 0.512) and distance (p = 0.009, r = − 0.541) were significantly associated with patient age. Conclusions AACE is characterized by a high AC/A ratio and low accommodation. A single injection of BTXA is effective for AACE. Deviation, stereoacuity, and the therapeutic effect of BTXA may be correlated with patient age.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the clinical features of acute acquired concomitant esotropia in myopia and the results of augmented bilateral symmetrical medial rectus recession. METHODS The medical charts of 50 patients diagnosed with acute acquired concomitant esotropia associated with myopia between 2013 and 2018 were reviewed. The dose-response was calculated, and the relationship of sex, age, refraction, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), preoperative deviation angle, and stereopsis with surgical results were analysed. RESULTS Forty-six patients (mean age 40.1 ± 18.1 years) were included in the study. Preoperative esotropia angle at near and distance were, respectively, 26.0 ± 7.5 PD and 25.2 ± 7.9 PD. Surgery amount was 12.1 ± 1.8 mm of recession, and surgical success was achieved in 38 patients (82.6%). No overcorrections were recorded. At 1-year follow-up, the mean deviation angle at distance and at near was 1.9 ± 2.4 and 1.7 ± 2.1 PD, and no recurrences were observed. The average dose-response was 1.8 ± 0.6 PD/mm and was positively correlated with preoperative angle of deviation (R2 = 0.799, p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with age (R2 = -0.365, p = 0.013). Conversely, there were no significant associations between dose-response and sex, refractive error, BCVA, or stereopsis (all p > 0.05). Factors associated with surgical failure were a lower amount of recession and absence of stereopsis. CONCLUSIONS Augmented bilateral medial rectus recession allows good motor and sensory results in patients with acute acquired concomitant esotropia associated with myopia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the therapeutic effects of surgery following prism adaptation test versus surgery alone in acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE). METHODS A total of 46 patients with AACE were enrolled in this retrospective study. Among them, 26 patients underwent surgery following prism adaptation test (combination group) and 20 patients underwent surgery alone (surgery group). The following parameters were evaluated including success rate, distant and near deviation angles, visual function, and near stereoacuity. RESULTS There were no significant differences in success rate between the combination group and surgery group at post-treatment 12 months (96.15% vs. 90.00%, p > 0.05). The postoperative distant and near deviation angles in two groups were significantly lower than that before surgery (p < 0.05). In addition, the numbers of patients with stereopsis postoperatively in two groups were significantly higher than that before surgery (all p < 0.05). Moreover, the numbers of patients with stereopsis and central stereopsis in the combination group were significantly higher than that in the surgery group postoperatively. At post-treatment 12 months, one (3.85%) case recurred in combination group and three (15.00%) cases in the surgery group. No complications were observed in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Both approaches had therapeutic benefit in AACE. Surgery following prism adaptation test had better treatment benefits than surgery alone in improving binocular function and reducing recurrence rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of acquired comitant esotropia with symptomatic diplopia. METHODS The clinical features and surgical outcomes of 27 patients with diplopia due to acquired comitant esotropia were retrospectively reviewed. Exclusion criteria were a history of prematurity, cerebral palsy, head trauma, or febrile illness before the onset of acquired comitant esotropia, incomitant strabismus, accommodative spasm, and divergence paralysis. Neurological evaluation and neuroimaging was normal in all patients. RESULTS Mean age at onset of esotropia and diplopia was 17.8 ± 10.3 years (range: 6 to 44 years). Eighteen patients had simple myopia (range: -0.25 to -7.75 diopters [D]), 5 patients had hypermetropia (range: 0.50 to 1.50 D), and 4 patients had emmetropia. The angle of deviation prior to surgery was 35.6 ± 10.3 prism diopters (PD) for far and 38.0 ± 10.5 PD for near fixation. Twenty-three patients (85%) were prism responders. A history of excessive near work (≥ 4 hours a day) with digital displays was present in 21 (78%) patients. Diplopia resolved and some level of stereovision was achieved in all patients postoperatively. Three patients had recurrence of esotropia in long-term follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The differentiation of a serious pathology from a straightforward optically or medically treatable condition in patients with a subacute or chronic history of diplopia is challenging for the clinician. The recognition of acquired comitant esotropia due to presumed intensive near activities with digital display may avoid time-consuming and costly laboratory investigations. Most of the patients in this series were prism responders and surgery for the prism-adapted angle was successful in restoring binocular vision. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2020;57(4):251-256.].

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate clinical characteristics of adults with acute acquired comitant esotropia and to evaluate the muscle recession amount needed to achieve a favorable outcome after performing medial rectus muscle recession. STUDY DESIGNS Retrospective study. METHODS Patients diagnosed with acute acquired comitant esotropia, who underwent medial rectus muscle recession with adjustable suture between 2008 and 2016 were included. Surgical outcomes were classified into motor and sensory. The motor outcomes were evaluated at the 1-year postoperative visit and divided into success (orthotropia or esodeviation ≤ 8 PD) and failure (esodeviation > 8 PD). The successful sensory outcomes were defined as elimination of diplopia in primary gaze. Factors including age, sex, refractive error, deviation angle, and surgical amount were compared between groups. RESULTS Sixteen subjects were included whose mean (± SD) age at the initial visit was 27.5 ± 11.0 years. Mean preoperative maximum angle of deviation was 27.9 ± 9.3 PD at distance and 28.6 ± 12.0 PD at near. Mean refractive error was -2.55 ± 2.92 D. Twelve of 16 subjects (75%) had successful motor and sensory outcomes. Age, sex, refractive error and deviation angle were not different between the two groups. Both success and failure groups required a greater amount of medial rectus muscle recession than those indicated by the Parks' surgical table, with a 40.6 ± 25.8 % augmentation in the success and 7.9 ± 6.9 % in the failure group (P = .028). CONCLUSIONS To achieve better surgical outcomes in adults with acute acquired comitant esotropia, targeting postoperative orthotropia by increasing the amount of medial rectus muscle recession is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review and analyze the surgical outcomes of bilateral medial rectus recession with adjustable suture in acute concomitant esotropia of adulthood (ACEA). METHODS The charts of all adults diagnosed as having ACEA between 2004 and 2017 were reviewed. Best corrected visual acuity, refractive error, ocular alignment measured in prism diopters (PD), and stereopsis were examined at presentation, 1 day postoperatively, and final follow-up visit (median: 10 months; range: 4 to 144 months). All patients underwent bilateral medial rectus recession using adjustable suture surgery and topical anesthesia. Statistical analysis was used to calculate surgical dose-responses and to study possible correlations with clinical parameters. RESULTS Fifteen patients diagnosed as having ACEA were included. The mean age was 39.2 ± 10.7 years, and the mean refractive errors in the right and left eyes were -3.97 ± 2.87 and -3.60 ± 2.74 diopters (D), respectively. Average esotropia deviations at near and distance were 22.7 ± 7.2 and 23.0 ± 7.5 PD. All patients improved with medial rectus recession (mean: 12.0 ± 2.2 mm) with a final mean deviation of 0.7 ± 1.8 PD. The mean dose-responses at 1 day postoperatively and final visit were 1.86 ± 0.58 and 1.83 ± 0.43 PD/mm, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between surgical dose-responses at 1 day postoperatively and final visit and preoperative deviation (R2 = 0.55; P < .001; R2 = 0.66; P < .001), whereas there were no significant correlations with age, sex, refractive error, BCVA, or stereopsis (all P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Good postoperative and final outcomes are achieved with large medial rectus recessions in ACEA. A larger dose-response can be expected in large preoperative deviations, independent of other clinical and ocular parameters. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2019;56(2):101-106.].

Decompensated Esophoria as a Benign Cause of Acquired Esotropia. Am J Ophthalmol 2018; 194:95-100. [PMID: 30053478 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajo.2018.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2018] [Revised: 07/11/2018] [Accepted: 07/11/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine informative clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of patients with symptomatic adult acquired, comitant esotropia due to decompensated esophoria. DESIGN Retrospective, interventional case series. METHODS Setting: Institutional. STUDY POPULATION Patients with decompensated esophoria who developed acute acquired comitant esotropia. OBSERVATION PROCEDURES Ophthalmic examination, stereopsis, and strabismus measurements at distance and near using prism cover tests in diagnostic gaze positions were performed. Patients underwent high-resolution surface coil MRI of extraocular muscles with target fixation, and MRI of the brain. Strabismus surgery was performed under topical anesthesia with adjustable sutures wherever possible. Paired t testing was used to evaluate postoperative changes with 0.05 considered significant. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Clinical and MRI characteristics, and surgical outcome of patients with decompensated esophoria. RESULTS Eight cases were identified involving subjects of mean age 29 ± 9.4 (range: 20-48) years having gradually progressive intermittent horizontal, binocular diplopia for 10 months to 3 years. Mean preoperative esotropia was 31 ± 12 Δ at distance and 29 ± 12 Δ at near, although this was intermittent in 5 patients who exhibited enhanced fusional divergence. Neurologic evaluation and MRI of brain, orbits, and extraocular muscles were unremarkable in all cases. Orthotropia was successfully restored in all by standard or enhanced doses of bimedial rectus muscle recession surgery, improving mean stereoacuity from 535 to 68 arc seconds, although 5 patients exhibited 2-14 Δ asymptomatic residual esophoria. CONCLUSION Decompensated esophoria is a benign clinical entity causing acute, acquired, comitant esotropia treatable with enhanced medial rectus recession.

Abstract
Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is an unusual presentation of esotropia that occurs after infancy. This study was aimed to study the clinical features and the differences between children and adult patients with AACE in the Chinese populations.This was a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with AACE over 4 years; 69 patients (25 females and 44 males) were identified. The patients were divided into 3 groups: < 10 year-old (n = 6, 8.7%), 10-18 year-old (n = 23, 33.3%), and ≥18 year-old (n = 40, 58.0%). Patients underwent medical history, brain and orbital computed tomography, and ophthalmological and orthoptic examinations.The refractions of AACE patients varied among age groups: patients < 10 year-old had mild hypermetropia, while older children and adults showed moderate-to-high myopia (P < .001). The mean angles of esotropia were significantly larger in young children compared with older children and adults (P = .005). There was no significant difference in binocularity detected by either synoptophore or TNO stereoscopic testing among different disease durations. Stereopsis detected by synoptophore and TNO testing showed no significant difference at duration within half a year, but the stereopsis measured by TNO was significantly worse than that detected by synoptophore with extending disease duration (P < .05).AACE seems to occur mostly in older children and adults in the Chinese population. Younger children with AACE seem to demonstrate a common trait of mild hypermetropic refractive errors, while myopia can be seen in older children and adult patients. The duration from onset to treatment of esotropia does not affect the preoperative binocularity.

Abstract
Objectives. Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) can be a diagnostic challenge for ophthalmologists and neurologists because of its association with neurological pathologies. Our study describes a series of adult patients with AACE of undetermined etiology. Methods. Data on the clinical findings of patients presented with AACE of undetermined etiology with a minimum follow-up of 1 year were retrieved from the medical records and the results analyzed. Results. A series of 9 esotropia cases (age range: 20-43 years) was reviewed. All patients had full duction and versions, without an A-pattern or V-pattern. All patients had esotropia for distance and near. Neurological evaluation in all cases was normal. Among patients, 3 were treated with prisms, 4 were treated with strabismus surgery, and 1 was treated with botulinum toxin injections; 1 patient declined treatment. In treated patients posttreatment sensory testing indicated restoration of binocularity that remained stable throughout follow-up of 1-9 years. The patient that declined treatment had binocular function with base-out prisms. Conclusion. Acute onset esotropia may be seen without a neurological pathology in adults. Good motor and sensory outcomes can be achieved in these patients with AACE of undetermined etiology via surgical and nonsurgical methods.

Abstract
Background To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) related to excessive smartphone use in adolescents. Methods The medical records of 12 patients with AACE and a history of excessive smartphone use were retrospectively reviewed, and the duration of smartphone use, angle of deviation, refractive error, stereopsis, and treatment options were analyzed. Results All patients showed convergent and comitant esotropia ranging from 15 to 45 prism diopters (PD; average: 27.75 ± 11.47 PD) at far fixation. The angle of deviation was nearly equivalent for far and near fixation. Every patient used a smartphone for more than 4 h a day over a period of several months (minimum 4 months). Myopic refractive errors were detected in eight patients (average:−3.84 ± 1.68 diopters (D]), and the remaining four patients showed mild hyperopic refractive error (average: +0.84 ± 0.53 D). Reductions in esodeviation were noted in all patients after refraining from smartphone use, and bilateral medial rectus recession was performed in three patients with considerable remnant esodeviation. Postoperative exams showed orthophoria with good stereoacuity in these patients. Conclusion Excessive smartphone use might influence AACE development in adolescents. Refraining from smartphone use can decrease the degree of esodeviation in these patients, and remnant deviation can be successfully managed with surgical correction.

Abstract
Acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) is a rare, distinct subtype of esotropia. The purpose of this retrospective study was to describe the clinical characteristics and discuss the classification and etiology of AACE.Charts from 47 patients with AACE referred to our institute between October 2010 and November 2014 were reviewed. All participants underwent a complete medical history, ophthalmologic and orthoptic examinations, and brain and orbital imaging.Mean age at onset was 26.6 ± 12.2 years. Of the 18 cases with deviations ≤ 20 PD, 16 presented with diplopia at distance and fusion at near vision at the onset of deviation; differences between distance and near deviations were < 8 PD; all cases except one were treated with prism and diplopia resolved. Of the 29 cases with deviations > 20 PD, 5 were mild hypermetropic with age at onset between 5 and 19 years, 16 were myopic, and 8 were emmetropic with age at onset > 12 years; 24 were surgically treated and 5 cases remained under observation; all 24 cases achieved normal retinal correspondence or fusion or stereopsis on postoperative day 1 in synoptophore; in 23 cases diplopia or visual confusion resolved postoperatively. Of the 47 cases, brain and orbital imaging in 2 cases revealed a tumor in the cerebellopontine angle and 1 case involved spinocerebellar ataxia as revealed by genetic testing.AACE in this study was characterized by a sudden onset of concomitant nonaccommodative esotropia with diplopia or visual confusion at 5 years of age or older and the potential for normal binocular vision. We suggest that AACE can be divided into 2 subgroups consisting of patients with relatively small versus large angle deviations. Coexisting or underlying neurological diseases were infrequent in AACE.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify characteristics of pediatric patients who develop acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) with and without intracranial disease. METHODS We reviewed the charts of 48 children consecutively referred to the hospital with AACE during a 13-year period. Inclusion criteria were acute onset of comitant esotropia, available data on ophthalmologic, orthoptic and neurologic examinations. Children with neurological signs, AACE recurrence or hyperopia <+3 dioptres (D) underwent brain computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Patients without imaging were followed. RESULTS In all, 48 cases were recorded. The mean age at onset was 4.7 years, being significantly higher among children with intracranial disease. Seven cause-specific types of AACE in childhood were identified: The acute accommodative (n = 15, 31%), decompensated monofixation syndrome or esophoria (n = 13, 27%), idiopathic (n = 9, 19%), intracranial disease (n = 3, 6%), occlusion related (n = 3, 6%), AACE secondary to different aetiologic disease (n = 3, 6%) and cyclic AACE (n = 2, 4%). Intracranial disease included hydrocephalus, pontine and thalamic glioma. Of the children with intracranial disease, 2 of 3 had no obvious neurological signs at onset. Four significant risk factors for intracranial disease were identified as follows: larger esodeviation at distance, recurrence of AACE, neuro signs (papilledema) and older age at onset (>6 years). CONCLUSION In a large case series of children with AACE and by review of literature, we identified seven cause-specific types of AACE. Intracranial disease was present in 6%, and four risk factors were identified to guide clinicians when to perform brain imaging. Findings suggest AACE of childhood to be differentiated from AACE of adulthood.
