Rippling muscle disease

Rippling muscle disease is a rare, genetic, neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle hyperirritability triggered by stretch, percussion or movement. Patients present wave-like, electrically-silent muscle contractions (rippling), muscle mounding, painful muscle stiffness and muscle hypertrophy, usually with elevated serum creatine kinase.

Esotropia

A form of strabismus with one or both eyes turned inward ('crossed') to a relatively severe degree, usually defined as 10 diopters or more.
