Sphenoid sinusitis is an uncommon infection that accounts for approximately 3% of all cases of acute sinusitis. It is usually accompanied by pansinusitis; less commonly it occurs alone. We are presenting a case of a 30 year old young male patient who presented with three weeks history of headache, along with blurry vision and diplopia. Neurological examination showed evidence of bilateral sixth...

Duane (I905) emphasized six features of a characteristic congenital ocular motility syndrome: (i) Complete, or less often partial, loss of abduction of the affected eye; (2) Partial, or rarely complete, restriction of adduction of the aHected eye; (3) Retraction of the affected eye into the orbit on adduction; (4) Oblique overshoot of the affected eye either up and in or down and in on adductio...

Anatomically the cavernous sinus is closely related to the sphenoid sinus and the nasopharynx. Sphenoid sinusitis, as demonstrated in the case can affect the nerves which are contained within it. Apart from the sinus, a direct extension from a nasopharyngeal lesion is commonly encountered to cause diplopia, owing to the sixth nerve involvement. The provisional diagnosis should be a nasopharynge...

Measurements of the dynamics of the eyes in ocular motor nerve palsies may aid diagnosis, characterize peripheral and central palsies, and reveal adaptive properties of the brain. Saccadic and vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) functions of patients with peripheral and central sixth, and peripheral third and fourth nerve palsies were studied by three dimensional magnetic field search coil oculograph...
