Orbital magnetic resonance imaging is useful in age-related distance esotropia.

Purpose: To describe findings for orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with age-related distance esotropia (ARDE).

Methods: We compared 31 orbital MRI from patients with ARDE (77±7 SD years) with 2 control groups: 32 orbits from individuals aged 18-50 years (33±8 SD years) and 16 orbits from individuals aged >60 years (77±7 SD years). MRI scans were acquired using 3D fast field echo in T1 sequence without fat saturation.
