| History |
A previously healthy 2-year-old male presented to neuro-ophthalmology clinic for a head turn that started 1.5 months ago; and his left eye began turning in over the last 2 weeks. He had no recent infections, vaccinations, or illnesses. With the birth; of his new baby sister 6 weeks prior the family said they attributed the head turn to a new behavior from stress of a new; sibling. He had no headache or weakness noticed in the face or extremities and no drooling or dysphagia. He had a large; head that was consistently tracking on his own growth curve and followed closely by his pediatrician, who was his paternal; grandfather. Family history was notable for a maternal grandfather with multiple sclerosis and mother with history of optic; neuritis 10 years ago without recurrence. His maternal great grandmother had strabismus and his paternal great uncle had; strabismus requiring surgery. There is otherwise no family history of developmental delay, seizures or other neurologic; disorders. The exam showed a left abduction deficit with an esotropia of 55 prism diopters in primary gaze, 25 prism; diopters in right gaze, and increasing to >55 in left gaze. The anterior segments of both eyes were normal. There was very; subtle blurring of the optic disc margin in the left eye on quick view due to cooperation and the left optic nerve could not; be viewed due to the large esotropia. An urgent brain MRI with and without contrast was ordered and he was instructed to; begin patching the right eye due to amblyopia risk. |
