Ocular Lymphoma: Clinical, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic Aspects
Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis, uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute retinal necrosis, or herpetic retin...
متن کاملUsefulness of single fiber EMG for distinguishing neuromuscular from other causes of ocular muscle weakness.
Consecutive patients (n = 114), who had single fiber electromyography of the frontalis muscles for symptoms suggestive of ocular myasthenia gravis, were followed up for a mean of 14 months (3-64 mos). At follow up, based on strict criteria, 23 patients were classified as having ocular myasthenia gravis, 8 patients were diagnosed as having mitochondrial myopathy or oculopharyngeal dystrophy, 18 ...
متن کاملIdiopathic ocular neuromyotonia: a neurovascular compression syndrome?
Ocular neuromyotonia in the muscles innervated by the right oculomotor nerve was diagnosed in a patient without a history of radiation therapy. Electromyography of the levator palpebrae showed continuous motor unit activity. Brain MRI disclosed a close contact between the right third cranial nerve and a basilar artery dolichoectasia. The patient partly benefited from carbamazepine therapy. This...
متن کاملConcomitant euthyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy and isolated ocular myasthenia gravis.
A 44 year old diabetic woman presented with diplopia and bilateral ptosis and mild exophthalmos. The patient was clinically euthyroid, the baseline thyroid function tests were normal, but the thyroid stimulating hormone response to thyrotrophin releasing hormone was flat. Computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits showed left medial and inferior rectus muscle thicken...
متن کاملRosiglitazone-Induced Proptosis
Comment. Ocular neuromyotonia affects the extraocular muscles either individually or in combination, causing episodic diplopia that develops either spontaneously or after gaze in the direction of action of the affected muscle. Electromyography suggests a neurogenic basis for the movements. The tonic contractions are thought to result from the spontaneous discharge of unstable neurons, which are...
