Divergence paralysis with raised intracranial pressure
نویسنده
چکیده
Divergence paralysis is characterized by acquired horizontal homonymous diplopia when viewing distant objects but without limitation of ocular movements (Bielschowsky, I935). Although raised intracranial pressure is a significant aetiological factor in the production of divergence paralysis (Bender and Savitsky, I940; Chamlin and Davidoff, I950, 1951), there has been much diversity of opinion as to the underlying mechanism. TIhe present report describes three patients with divergence paralysis in whom electrooculography was used to measure peak angular velocities during horizontal ocular saccades. The apparatus used for electro-oculography has been previously described (Hallpike, Hood, and Trinder, I960; Hood, I968).

متن کاملBrain Trauma Measurement of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter for the Assessment of Risk of Raised Intracranial Pressure
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is associated with poor outcome after brain injury, but is difficult to detect without invasive devices. As a part of the central nervous system, the optic nerve is surrounded by a dural sheath, and the subarachnoid space surrounding the optic nerve is subject to the same pressure changes as the intracranial compartment. Distension of the optic nerve sheath re...

Sclerosteosis is a unique autosomal recessive condition in which skeletal overgrowth is associated with syndactyly and digital malformation. Analysis of the course and clinical features in 25 affected individuals showed that the condition is progressive and potentially lethal. Facial palsy and deafness are common complications and raised intracranial pressure may develop. The clinical and radio...

In this article, we present the case of a 12-year-old female child who complained of bilateral temporal and frontal headache for 2 to 3 months with nausea and vomiting. Physical examination revealed right-sided sixth cranial nerve palsy and papilledema in ophthalmoscopy. To find the cause of increased intracranial pressure, the patient underwent brain imaging and brain MRI showed no abnormality...
