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)...

PURPOSE The effects of paralytic strabismus on the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) have not been systematically investigated in humans. The purpose of this study was to analyze the VOR in patients with unilateral peripheral sixth nerve palsy. METHODS Twenty-one patients with unilateral peripheral sixth nerve palsy (6 severe, 7 moderate, 8 mild) and 15 normal subjects were studied. Subjects made...

To evaluate the prevalence of ocular abnormalities among children with cerebral palsy, 140 patients with age between 6 months and 16 years were selected and the overall incidence of ocular abnormalities in this study was 42.1%. Two major ocular abnormalities identified in these cases were strabismus in 36.4%. Myopia was detected in 12.9% children while hypermetropia in 8.6% and astigmatism in 3...

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of ocular surface changes that may develop due to Bell’s palsy (BP) on dry eye parameters, corneal densitometry values, and aberrations in patients with unilateral BP compare them sound eyes.
 Materials Methods: A total 33 eyes diagnosed fellow were enrolled this study. complete ophthalmologic examination including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intra...

OBJECTIVE To determine feasibility of ultrasonography in detecting the normal accessory nerve as well as pathologic changes in cases of accessory nerve palsy. METHODS Four patients with accessory nerve palsy were investigated by ultrasonography. Three cases of accessory nerve palsy after lymph node biopsy and neck dissection were primarily diagnosed on the basis of ultrasonography using a 5- ...

BACKGROUND Refractive errors, strabismus, nystagmus, amblyopia, and cortical visual impairment are observed in 50 to 90 % of patients with cerebral palsy. Ocular abnormalities are known to differ according to cerebral palsy type, and spastic type has been reported to be more likely to be associated with ocular defects than the athetoid and ataxic types. METHODS A retrospective review of medic...
