The diagnosis of nasal sinusitis as a cause of ocular palsy has recently fallen into disfavour, particularly since the importance of congenital aneurysm as a cause of third nerve palsy has been recognized. It is the purpose of this communication to record a series of fully investigated cases of ocular palsy observed over some years, in which the palsies were associated with the presence of a ch...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There have been few reports of strokes producing isolated or predominant ocular motor nerve palsies as a clinical manifestation. METHODS We studied seven patients with brain stem stroke who had ocular motor palsies as the only or the predominant neurological manifestation, and we correlated their clinical features with radiological findings. RESULTS Five patients had ...

Background and Purpose: There have been few reports of strokes producing isolated or predominant ocular motor nerve palsies as a clinical manifestation. Methods: We studied seven patients with brain stem stroke who had ocular motor palsies as the only or the predominant neurological manifestation, and we correlated their clinical features with radiological findings. Results: Five patients had s...

VI nerve palsy cannot be explained by this finding alone. It is important to note that all the cases reported so far of KD complicated with VI nerve palsy have presented after IVIG infusion. Of note is one previous case of abducens nerve palsy following IVIG administration reported in a patient without KD. Wright et al. describe a 42-year-old female who received IVIG after renal transplantation...

The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), a member of the Herpesvirus family, occurs commonly and infects more than 90% people worldwide. Most systemic EBV infections throughout childhood adulthood are typically asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic. Even though ocular involvements in infrequently reported, an increasing number manifestations have been previously reported . Ocular manifestation caused by infect...

Introduction: Synkinesis and facial asymmetry due to facial nerve palsy are distressing conditions that affect quality of life. Unfortunately, these sequelae of facial nerve palsy are unresolved. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a combination of biofeedback therapy and botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection for the management of synkinesis and asymmetry of facial muscles.  ...

In this case report, we describe a case of adult-onset bulbar ptosis in a patient with Joubert syndrome. Joubert syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder with malformations in cerebellum and brainstem. Many ocular abnormalities have been noted in Joubert syndrome, but the association of this syndrome with adult-onset ptosis has not been described to date. This 24-year-old Joubert patient ...

Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders are a group of diseases caused by abnormal development of cranial nerve nuclei or their axonal connections, resulting in aberrant innervation of the ocular and facial musculature. Its diagnosis could be facilitated by the development of high resolution thin-section magnetic resonance imaging. The purpose of this review is to describe the method to vis...

Palsy of a nerve might be expected to lower vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) responses in its fields of motion, but effects of peripheral neuromuscular disease were unknown. We recorded the VOR during sinusoidal head rotations in yaw, pitch, and roll at 0.5-2 Hz and static torsional gain in 43 patients with unilateral nerve palsies. Sixth nerve palsy (n = 21) reduced both abduction and adduction V...
