All patients were observed for 6 months and managed with prism and\/or patching while waiting for spontaneous resolution and later managed surgically. Neuroimaging was done in all cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean deviation of esotropia at presentation was 30.17 \u00b1 5.7 Prism Diopter (range 12\u201350 Prism Diopter 95% CI, SD 10.11). Mean age of the patients during presentation was 8.6 \u00b1 2.4 years (range: 1\u201315 years, SD 4.27). Among the common causes of sixth nerve palsy in our study population were trauma and idiopathic intracranial hypertension followed by tumor and miscellaneous causes. Only three patients underwent surgical correction of residual deviation after a waiting period of 6 months for self-resolution. Spontaneous resolution was observed in 41.6% patients, and surgical correction (unilateral resection\u2013recession) was done in 25% of the patients with good surgical outcome.<\/jats:p>\n
