Abstract

As an infrequent symptom diplopia has been reported with opiate withdrawal, especially heroin, but not dextropropoxyphene. We report incomitant esotropia and diplopia in a case with dextropropoxyphene withdrawal that resolved completely with the resolution of the opiate withdrawal syndrome.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
