Here we report eight consecutive patients with intracranial neoplasm at different ages clinically presenting with acute esotropia. Among these patients, two had divergent paresis, four had bilateral abducens paresis and the other two had unilateral abducens nerve paresis. All of these patients have intracranial neoplasm demonstrated by neuroimaging studies. Besides of acute esotropia, four had papilledema, one had optic atrophy, and three had associated other neurological signs. Of the eight patients, three patients are children, and the other five are adults. In the adult group, four patients are less than 45 years old. In conclusion, acute esotropia may be an early presenting sign of brain tumor and careful evaluation of associated clinical symptoms/signs is mandatory, especially in the young age group.
