Abstract:
Spasm of the near reflex is characterized by intermittent attacks of convergence, accommodation and miosis. It typically affectsyoung adultsand is frequently psychogenic. The author describes the case of a 17-year-old female with spasm of the near reflex manifesting with headache, diplopia, reduced vision, esotropia, and limitation of abduction. The case re-emphasizes the importance of considering spasm of the near reflex in the differential diagnosis of any patient with esotropia associated with headache and reduced vision.
