| Abstract |
PURPOSE: We report a rare myopathy known as rippling muscle disease, with the unique feature of extraocular muscle involvement, presenting as a variable esotropia. METHODS: Chart review with a review of the literature. RESULTS: Neurologic and neuro-ophthalmic examinations as well as electromyography and muscle biopsy confirm that this case closely resembles those described in the literature with the additional feature of a variable esotropia. CONCLUSION: Rippling muscle disease may be associated with intermittent esotropia. The pathophysiology of this disorder is unknown, but the intermittent esotropia is likely related to ""rippling"" of the medial recti. |
