Possible Causes

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

We present three patients with a clinical course and cerebrospinal fluid findings consistent with a diagnosis of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Extensive and repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations showed only diffuse abnormality in brain and spinal cord, but no focal lesions. We propose[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Brain Stem Infarction

Brain stem infarction is a potentially life-threatening condition which develops due to focal ischemia of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. It results in neurologic deficits involving the respiratory, cardiovascular, speech, swallowing, hearing and ocular movement centers located within the brain stem. Diagnosis is[…] [symptoma.com]

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of central nervous system and it is associated with an impaired motor function status. The efficacy of rehabilitation in promoting functional recovery and increasing quality of life in MS patients has been demonstrated. A 47-year-old woman was diagnosed[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Alternating Exotropia

Abstract We studied the coordination of binocular eye movements in human subjects with alternating exotropia (divergent strabismus). Binocular saccades were recorded in six subjects during binocular and monocular viewing. Subjects were instructed to make saccades between two continuously lit targets (LED's)[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Wernicke Encephalopathy

Wernicke encephalopathy is a potentially life-threatening condition of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism occurring on the grounds of thiamine deficiency. Alcohol abuse, which impairs thiamine absorption, is often the underlying cause. Principal symptoms are ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and acute changes in consciousness. The[…] [symptoma.com]

Brain Stem Hemorrhage

We report findings from an autopsy of a male in his 40s who died of a brain stem hemorrhage associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), senile plaques (SPs) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which are histopathological changes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our immunohistochemical study[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) may be a risk factor for thiamine deficiency.

Therefore,[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Tricyclic Antidepressant Overdose

Abstract In order to evaluate the enzymes CPK and LDH as potential biochemical markers of tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) cardiotoxicity, we prospectively followed 29 patients with TCA overdose. Serum CPK and LDH were obtained on all patients at admission. Population characteristics included a mean age of 33 y, a[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Benign Abducens Nerve Palsy

PURPOSE: Benign abducens nerve palsy is rare in childhood. Diagnosis is made by exclusion, and the severe underlying pathologies have to be ruled out. The aim of our study was to present the largest single-center series of patients with the longest period of follow-up to confirm the benign nature of this entity.[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abducens Nerve Palsy

Cranial nerve VI, also known as the abducens nerve, innervates the ipsilateral lateral rectus (LR), which functions to abduct the ipsilateral eye. The sixth cranial nerve has a long subarachnoid course. The sixth nerve nucleus is located in the pons, just ventral to the floor of the fourth ventricle and just lateral[…] [emedicine.com]

Oculomotor Nerve Paralysis

Möbius syndrome is typified by bilateral facial nerve palsies, usually with abducens palsies. We examined an infant with Möbius syndrome who had bifacial weakness and third nerve palsies, but intact abduction of both eyes. Lower cranial nerve involvement, leading to respiratory, swallowing, and cardiac difficulties, was[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Barbiturate Overdose

Barbiturate overdose is poisoning due to excessive doses of barbiturates. Symptoms typically include difficulty thinking, poor coordination, decreased level of consciousness, and a decreased effort to breathe (respiratory depression). Complications of overdose can include noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. If death[…] [en.wikipedia.org]
