A 28-month-old boy presented with a 3-week history of intermittent left esotropia with a 48 hour cycle. The decision to perform surgery was made after treatment with patching and full refractive correction of the hyperopia. Bilateral medial recession with recession of both inferior oblique muscles was performed. Follow up examination postoperatively showed that the cyclic pattern resolved but a constant esotropia occurred.
