ALTHOUGH diplopia resulting from head injury is more usually due to a lesion of one of the ocular motor nerves, it may be caused by direct injury to the orbit. Sometimes damage occurs to one or more of the extrinsic ocular muscles, especially the obliques, because of their attachments to the bone in the anterior part of the orbit, but more frequently the injury brings about an alteration in the...

Received: 25.12.2013; Revised: 25.03.2014; Accepted: 14.05.2014 Fig. 1: MRI shows enlarged hyperintense extraocular muscles (left superior rectus, inferior rectus and medial rectus) retinal vein or artery occlusion. Ocular tonometry showed intraocular pressure of 18 mm Hg. Magnetic resonance imag ing (MRI) showed en larged hyperintense extraocular muscles (left superior rectus, inferior rectus ...

In clinical practice, photophobia resulting from persistent mydriasis may be associated with dysfunction of ocular parasympathetic nerves or primary iris lesions. We encountered a 5-year-old Miniature Dachshund and a 7-year-old Shih Tzu with mydriasis, abnormal pupillary light reflexes, and photophobia. Except for sustained mydriasis and photophobia, no abnormalities were detected on general ph...

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 ...

Brucellosis is considered a zoonotic disease which is still an important health problem in endemic areas such as the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Asia. Brucellosis is a sys‐ temic infection that might affect any organ or system in the body. Ocular involvement has been reported in 21% of brucellosis patients. The most common ocular manifestations of brucellosis were considered as anterior...

PURPOSE We describe a novel fully automatic method capable of tracing the subbasal plexus nerves from human corneal confocal images. METHODS Following an increasing interest in the automatic analysis of corneal nerves, a few approaches have been proposed. These, however, cannot cope with large images, such as mosaics, in due time. The rationale of the proposed method is to minimize required c...

Diabetes Mellitus, a highly prevalent and rapidly increasing metabolic disease, can cause several serious complications including visual damage blindness caused by ocular nerve damage. Nerve fiber degeneration might occur because of the accumulation glycation end-products in Descemet’s membrane nerve. The severity corneal diabetic keratopathy be examined through regeneration nerves, specificall...

THE various names given to the condition of ptosis and progressive ophthalmoplegia first described by von Graefe (1868), reflect views regarding the undecided aetiology of this condition, e.g. chronic progressive nuclear ophthalmoplegia, ocular myopathy, progressive muscular dystrophy involving the extra-ocular muscles, etc. M6bius (1900) had named the condition "progressive nuclear ophthalmopl...
