purpose: to report three cases of classic cranial syndromes with involvement of the third and sixth nerves with comparison of their clinical and radiological findings and results of treatment. case report: three patients were referred to labbafinejad strabismus clinic because of diplopia and eye deviation after an attack of eclampsia (one case) and head trauma (two cases). they had extraocular ...

acute idiopathic peripheral facial paralysis (bell's palsy) is the most common disorder of the facial nerve. most patients recover completely, although some have permanent disfiguring facial weakness. many studies have attempted to identify an infectious etiology for this disease. although the cause of bell's palsy remains unknown, recent studies suggest a possible association with herpes simpl...

sent study. Our investigation showed a highly significant increase of CSF total tau protein in patients with probable Alzheimer's disease compared with elderly depressive patients, patients with other neurological disorders, and young and elderly controls. It seems plausible that these increases are the result of enhanced release of tau protein from damaged neurons into the extracellular space ...

A fifty-two year old postmenopausal woman was admitted to the hospital with complaints of diplopia, headache, humming over the head, and pain over the left eye. Neurological examination showed right abducens nerve palsy. In a few days, she also developed left abducens nerve palsy and chemosis, exophthalmos, and proptosis of both eyes. There was pulsation over the left eye. Intraocular pressure ...

A 7-year-old boy underwent resection of a posterior fossa medulloblastoma. Two days later, he developed facial diplegia, left abducens nerve palsy, and mild hypalgesia below the neck. MRI documented 2 dot-like ischemic foci in the pons (figure). We diagnosed the unusual bilateral occurrence of Gasperini syndrome, a lesion of the sixth and seventh cranial nerve nuclei and the lateral spinothalam...

The abducens is the motor nerve with the most substantial course, both within and outside the brain and it innervates only one muscle. Sixth nerve palsy affords an opportunity to compare recovery after central versus peripheral nerve damage by assessing the dynamics of abduction. Horizontal saccade peak velocities and durations in 14 patients with unilateral peripheral sixth nerve palsies (5 ac...
