Single-eyed infantile esotropia-abductional nystagmus syndrome (unilateral convergent squint following enucleation).
Three infants underwent enucleation of one eye for different indications. This was followed by the development of esotropia of varying degree within one to four months in all the three cases, and was associated with a coarse nystagmus present in abduction, but absent in the primary and adducted positions of gaze. There was a face turn to the side of remaining eye. This appears to be a separate clinical entity and not early onset esotropia. Possible mechanisms and medicolegal implications are discussed.
