Therapy for early acquired noncomitant esotropia. A case report.
A 7 year-old female demonstrated a noncomitant esotropia secondary to an early acquired lateral rectus paresis. Sensory fusion testing indicated that the patient was capable of maintaining single binocular vision only with a pronounced head turn. Prism and surgical therapy reduced the abnormal head posture and permitted fusion and stereopsis in the primary position.
