Background: Pediatric papilledema often reflects an underlying severe neurologic disorder and may be difficult to appreciate, especially in young children. Ocular fundus photographs are easy to obtain even in young children and in nonophthalmology settings. The aim of our study was to ascertain whether an improved deep-learning system (DLS), previously validated in adults, can accurately identify papilledema and other optic disk abnormalities in children.

Neurological strabismus is excluded. Functional and structural changes related to the aging process can induce phoria decompensation, convergence insufficiency decompensation and new onset strabismus as distance esotropia or vertical strabismus induced by the sagging eye syndrome.

The binocular vision was restored in primary position and down-gaze with excellent stereopsis at near and distance and a deviation of +4 PD in primary position. Three months later, the patient developed a consecutive esotropia of + 18 PD in primary position with diplopia in all gazes triggered by Amitriptyline treatment prescribed one month earlier for nocturnal enuresis.

The goal of treatment is to create an area of single binocular vision that is centered around the primary-gaze position. Careful analysis of the ocular motility deficit is crucial in selecting the appropriate surgical procedure.
