Case Report: Oculomotor Palsy With Cyclic Spasms in a Patient With Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1

Oculomotor palsy with cyclic spasms is an extremely rare condition whose exact pathophysiology remains a mystery. We followed boy from the onset of symptoms at age ten months until 15 years and documented case video oculography. In addition, he was diagnosed hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1). Although pure coincidence cannot be ruled out, it conceivable that underlying demyelinating this patient rendered oculomotor nerve more susceptible to damage.
