title: Convergence palsy secondary to amoxicillin.
abstract: METHODS
  We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with acute diplopia in near vision secondary to transient convergence palsy, possibly in relation to amoxicillin.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Convergence palsy is an uncommon eye disorder. The causes are reviewed, and amoxicilin is identified as presumptive etiologic agent. This is the first case reported.
