متن کاملDiplopia due to ocular motor cranial neuropathies.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Determining which cranial nerve(s) is (are) involved is a critical step in appropriately evaluating a patient with diplopia. RECENT FINDINGS New studies have looked at the various etiologies of cranial nerve palsies in the modern imaging era. The importance of the C-reactive protein test in evaluating the possibility of giant cell arteritis has recently been emphasized. SU...
متن کاملTeaching NeuroImages: Upright-supine test to evaluate vertical diplopia.
A 36-year-old woman presented with vertical diplopia, nausea, and disequilibrium. Maddox rod testing was performed in the upright and supine positions (figures 1 and 2). Skew deviation is a vertical misalignment caused by a supranuclear lesion in the vertical vestibuloocular reflex pathways, including the vestibular nerve, brainstem, or cerebellum. It arises from perturbed utricular inputs, and...
