Childhood Esotropia: The Players
G. S. Ellis, Jr., M.D. & C. A. Pritchard, C.O.
Categorizing esotropia according to the answers to the following four questions allows the practitioner to collect the different types of esotropia into sensible groups.
The questions are:
1. When did it begin?
2. Is the child healthy?
3. Is the vision equal?
4. Is the deviation horizontally comitant?
A decision tree is presented for the differential diagnosis.
