Accepted 17 July 1996 A 47-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with a history of sudden headache, vomiting and slight diplopia on left lateral gaze, without alteration in the level of consciousness. The patient had been diagnosed as suffering from stage II breast cancer, 10 months earlier, after detection of a 2-cm mass in the left breast. A total mastectomy and axillary dissection was ...

Oculomotor nerve disease is a common cause of diplopia. When strabismus is present, absence of diplopia has to induce the research of either uncovering of visual fields or monocular suppression, amblyopia or blindness. We describe the case of a 41-year-old woman presenting with right oculomotor paresis and left object-centred visual neglect due to a right fronto-parietal haemorrhage expanding t...

PURPOSE To investigate the clinical features and etiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with new onset diplopia after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of NPC patients with new onset diplopia after concurrent chemoradiotherapy from 1998 to 2012 in a cancer center. Their clinical manifestations of ocular motor dysfunction in rela...

AIM The optimal treatment of ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) remains unknown. The authors evaluated the efficacy of prednisone and pyridostigmine in reducing diplopia, ocular motor dysfunction, and ptosis in patients with OMG. METHODS Review of records from a clinical database from one neuro-ophthalmology service of patients presenting with OMG between 1990 and 2002, excluding those who develo...

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...

Abducent palsy, a dysfunction of cranial nerve VI causing diplopia, has an annual population incidence of about 11 per 100 000, of which 3% follow neurosurgery. About 60% of patients with isolated abducent palsy from vascular causes recover within 9 months. Diplopia can significantly affect the person’s quality of life, making simple everyday tasks difficult to manage and even dangerous. Acupun...

Background and Purpose Monocular diplopia is often due to intraocular disease. It is rarely the result of cerebral causes, which include lesions in or near Brodmann’s area nineteen, the frontal eye fields or the cerebellum. Monocular diplopia has not been reported in a patient with a midbrain lesion.

Abstract Introduction Orbital floor fractures are routinely encountered in facial trauma. Many factors influence the final outcome of orbital surgery, time interval and extent other bone two which can significantly postoperative following reconstruction. Our study aims to find ideal for intervention association Methods A retrospective prospective cohort patients who were operated at Pondicherry...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the factors affecting recovery of diplopia and limited ocular motility in pediatric patients who underwent surgery for orbital wall fracture. DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. METHODS In this retrospective observational case series, 150 pediatric patients (1-18 years old) who were diagnosed with orbital medial wall or floor fracture and underwent corr...
