The authors describe a severe and rare case of restrictive strabismus, acquired during the first semester of life, in a previously normal baby. They discuss the possibility of inflammatory or infectious disease as the primary cause. Surgical management was challenging, after three procedures and required the cooperation of strabismus and orbit specialists and also a wide incision for orbital surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Heavy eye syndrome (HES) is a unique type of strabismus caused by a significant elongation of the eye's axial length, leading to misalignment and reduced eye movement, often seen in patients with high myopia.
- Identification of HES relies on multislice computed tomography (MSCT), which reveals a key sign of the condition: the dislocation of the posterior pole from the muscle cone.
- The preferred surgical option for HES involves techniques that reposition the superior and lateral rectus muscles, as traditional surgeries are less effective and may complicate future treatment.
