OBJECTIVE The ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP), a recently documented otolith-ocular reflex, is considered to reflect the central projections of the primary otolithic afferent fibers to the oculomotor nuclei. The aim of our study is to define air-conducted sound oVEMP abnormality in patients with acute brainstem lesions and to determine the brainstem structures involved in th...

THE title "ocular neuritis " was applied by me to ithe cases which form the subject matter of this paper in 1897,i because the term includes with the optic nerve the external ocular nerves, whereas "optic neuritis " would not include the latter. My 1897 paper diagnosed the cases, but failed satisfactorily to point out a source for the poison-even, in fact, suggested a source since proved to be ...

In this chapter we describe a variety of rare but clinically identifiable ocular motor syndromes, including ocular neuromyotonia, superior oblique myokymia, ocular motor synkinesis, third nerve palsy with cyclic spasms, and paroxysmal manifestations of multiple sclerosis. These syndromes share many characteristics. They result from neurogenic hyperactivity, causing episodic spasms of one or sev...

Orbital tumors constitute a heterogeneous array of lesions and pose numerous challenges in terms of diagnosis, imaging and treatment.1,2 The bony orbit contains an extremely complicated anatomical architecture composed of II, III, IV, VI cranial nerves, vessels, extra ocular muscles and the globe. Schwannoma of cranial nerves represent less than 8% of all intracranial neoplasms usually arising ...

Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare disorder characterized by childhood onset recurrent attacks of migraineous headaches with paresis of ocular cranial nerves. The third cranial nerve is commonly involved. Involvement of fourth and sixth cranial nerve is uncommon. We present a child with opthalmoplegic migraine with recurrent sixth cranial nerve palsy on two occasions. Neurology Asia 2013; 18(1)...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can infect the cornea and achieve ganglionic latency. HSV-1 can later be activated by a variety of effectors although the exact mechanism of reactivation is unknown. Rabbits harboring latent HSV-1 strain McKrae can be induced to shed virus by ocular iontophoresis of epinephrine to the cornea. No studies have been done to investigate if corneal nerves are nece...

A family with familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) due to a transthyretin (TTR) Leu58Arg mutation was investigated clinicopathologically. The proband presented with sensorimotor-autonomic polyneuropathy and autopsy demonstrated massive amyloid deposition in the peripheral nerves and heart. However, the mother was characterized by carpal tunnel syndrome and ocular vitreous opacities. Thus, ther...

The trigeminal nerve gives rise to the corneal subbasal system, which plays a crucial role in sensations of touch, pain, and temperature ocular healing processes. Technological advancements instruments, particular vivo confocal microscopy aethesiometry, have allowed for structural functional evaluation nerves health disease. Through application these technologies humans animal models, abnormali...

Introduction: Disseminated herpes zoster (DHZ) characterized by the vesicles that appear outside dermatome with more than 20 lesions. The DHZ common in immunocompromised patient. This case reports immunocompetent patients which is a rare case.Case: 45- and 60-years old men came pain. dermatological examination showed on dermatomal of dermatome. diagnosed as involving ocular thoracic nerves. wor...
