title: Cyclic esotropia with central nervous system disease: report of two cases.
abstract: Two cases of cyclic esotropia with associated central nervous system lesions are presented. One had a 48-hour cycle and the other a 24-hour cycle. In the first child, the condition developed after a third ventricular astrocytoma removal and in the second with the advent of an epileptiform disorder. Both were non-accommodative, non-paralytic in nature, and not associated with fusion disrupting factors. These patterns persisted uninterruptedly in one child for 22 months and in the other for more than 8 months until lost for follow-up.
