This article describes a 76 year old man that, after lung cancer surgery, showed left extrinsic oculomotor paralysis and contralateral paralysis of the superior rectus muscle associated with bilateral ptosis. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a rare situation characterized by an isolated metastasis in the region of the left third cranial nerve nucleus, probably compromising the superior rect...

A 69-year-old woman developed acute angle-closure glaucoma 2 weeks after successful transvenous coil embolization of a traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula. The angle-closure glaucoma was precipitated by oculomotor palsy caused by transvenous coil packing of the cavernous sinus. Emergency iridotomy resulted in normalization of the intraocular pressure and restoration of vision. Acute angle...

Children with ADHD show poor motor control. The aim of the present study was to test whether children improved their performances (oculomotor as well posture) after a short visuopostural training period. Two groups (G1 trained and G2 non-trained), each comprising 15 matched in IQ (intelligence quotient), sex, age, participated study. Eye movements postural sway were measured before (T1) (T2) 10...

Abstract During wakeful rest, individuals make small eye movements during fixation. We examined how these endogenously driven oculomotor patterns impact topography and topology of functional brain networks. used a dataset consisting eyes-open resting-state (RS) fMRI data with simultaneous tracking. The eye-tracking indicated minor which correlated modestly RS BOLD data. However, well echo-plana...

45 Eye movement behaviour is variable and the brain’s oculomotor circuitry may not always 46 function consistently. In a recent fMRI study, Ozyurt and Greenlee (2011) correlated the 47 activation strength of cortical and striatal brain regions with interand intra-individual variability 48 in saccade performance. We discuss the design and implications of this study with regard to the 49 differen...

One hundred and seventy-four patients with a posterior communicating aneurysm were seen over a 21 year period. There was a ratio of four females to one male and women were on average five years older. Fifty-nine (34%) had an oculomotor paresis. This group had up to four attacks of localized headache, large multiloculated aneurysms, and a greater time lapse from the onset of symptoms to surgery ...

We report a rare case of oculomotor nerve palsy and choroidal tuberculous granuloma associated with tuberculous meningoencephalitis. A 15-year-old male visited our hospital for an acute drop of the left eyelid and diplopia. He has been on anti-tuberculous drugs (isoniazid, rifampin) for 1 year for his tuberculous encephalitis. A neurological examination revealed a conscious clear patient with i...

Individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) manifest a wide range of visual dysfunctions. One of the most prevalent involves the oculomotor system, which includes version, vergence, and accommodation. However, until recently, there has been no comprehensive, computer-based program for remediation of these oculomotor deficits. We present such an oculomotor rehabilitation program that has been ...

A 48-year-old woman experienced sudden onset of severe headache. Computed tomography showed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hematoma in the right frontal lobe. Digital subtraction angiography revealed three aneurysms in the anterior communicating artery (AcomA), the right posterior communicating artery (PcomA), and the right middle cerebral artery. The AcomA aneurysm was treated...

Background: Insertion of an external ventricular drain (EVD) is an important neurosurgical technique. There is a minor risk of misplacement, and complications including infections or hemorrhages have been reported. Transient neurological complications are, however, very rare, especially when EVD is placed under endoscope assistance. We report a case of unilateral transient oculomotor palsy afte...
