Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia Secondary to Cocaine Abuse
Purpose. To report a case of internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) caused by cocaine. Method. We report a case of a 54-year-old female who presented with a left INO three days after snorting cocaine, and we review the literature. Results. MRI of the brain demonstrated several small abnormal foci in the pons on FLAIR and diffusion weighted imaging consistent with ischemic infarction. The patient's ...
متن کاملExperimental internuclear ophthalmoplegia.
A midline experimental lesion separating the medial longitudinal fasciculi at and below the level of the abducens nuclei without damaging either fasciculus at the level of the nuclei has produced defects of ocular motility resembling those of clinical internuclear ophthalmoplegia. Electromyographic recordings during lateral gaze demonstrate: (1) lack of inhibition of the lateral rectus muscle i...

متن کاملInternuclear ophthalmoplegia: recovery and plasticity.
We studied refixational eye movements of a patient during the gradual resolution of an internuclear ophthalmoplegia (secondary to head trauma) in an attempt to determine the relative contributions of both medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) recovery and secondary central plastic changes. Adduction-refixational eye movements in the affected eye consisted of an initial fast (saccadic) portion fo...
متن کاملCocaine abuse, generalized myasthenia, complete external ophthalmoplegia, and pseudotonic pupil.
We present the case of a 29-year-old woman with generalized myasthenia. Myasthenia with complete external ophthalmoplegia was unmasked by cocaine abuse. It was associated with changes of the pupillary motility, including light-near dissociation and positive 0.1% pilocarpine test. Treatment with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors improved the patient's condition rapidly, and led to complete normali...
