ABSTRACT

A total of 27 children with esotropia (mean age, 3.9 years; range, 9 months to 13.8 years) were enrolled in a 9-month observational study following botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection of one (n = 7) or both (n = 20) medial rectus muscles. BTX-A dosage ranged from 3.0 to 6.0 units per muscle. Three participants developed tonic pupil, noted at the first follow-up visit, occurring 12-19 days after injection. All 3 cases occurred in the left eye of participants who underwent bilateral BTX-A injection by the same surgeon. Anisocoria diminished from a maximum of 4 mm at the 2-week visit to 1-2 mm in all patients over the 9-month postinjection data collection period. No adverse visual outcomes were noted. Tonic pupil is an infrequently reported complication of BTX-A injection for strabismus. The experience of our investigator group suggests the need for careful injection technique and thorough preinjection counseling.

ABSTRACT

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome is an increasingly recognized disorder with typical radiologic findings of bilateral gray- and white-matter abnormalities in the posterior regions of the cerebral hemispheres. The majority of patients with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome are adults, and it is rare in children. Previously reported associations of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome include hypertension, vasculitis, nephrotic syndrome, severe hypercalcemia, hemolytic uremic syndrome, eclampsia, renal failure, and use of immunosuppressive drugs. Adie's pupil is described as the presence of a large unilateral or bilateral tonic pupil related to virus infections or trauma. In this article, we describe a case of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy and Adie's pupil association that occurred after measles vaccination. To our knowledge, this association has not been reported.
