To date, there is still not enough literature on this topic to enable a consensus on the diagnostic algorithm. Methods: We analyzed data from patients with convergent strabismus who received cranial imaging via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Twenty-one patients received a cranial MRI for the diagnostic evaluation of AACE. The age range was from 2 to 12 years, and the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 5.5 years. Of these patients, only one exhibited insignificant MRI findings, with no therapeutic consequences. Conclusions: Our data add further evidence that AACE without neurological findings or other ophthalmologic anomalies might not be an indication for cranial MRI as a diagnostic screening tool.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children11050519","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,26]],"date-time":"2024-04-26T05:13:41Z","timestamp":1714108421000},"page":"519","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Still an Unsolved Question: The Place of Cranial Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Acute Acquired Concomitant Esotropia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Luisa","family":"Mittendorf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neuropediatrics, Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Department of Women and Child Health, University of Leipzig, Liebigstra\u00dfe 20a, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthias K.","family":"Bernhard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neuropediatrics, Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Department of Women and Child Health, University of Leipzig, Liebigstra\u00dfe 20a, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ina","family":"Sterker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Head and Dental Medicine, Hospital for Ophthalmology, University of Leipzig, Liebigstra\u00dfe 12, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wieland","family":"Kiess","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neuropediatrics, Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Department of Women and Child Health, University of Leipzig, Liebigstra\u00dfe 20a, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1827-1434","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janina","family":"Gburek-Augustat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neuropediatrics, Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Department of Women and Child Health, University of Leipzig, Liebigstra\u00dfe 20a, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9959-2306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Merkenschlager","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neuropediatrics, Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Department of Women and Child Health, University of Leipzig, Liebigstra\u00dfe 20a, 04103 Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35177","DOI":"10.1038\/srep35177","article-title":"Refractive Errors and Concomitant Strabismus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis","volume":"6","author":"Tang","year":"2016","journal-title":"Sci.
