  • Pertussis

    In patient 12, occurrence of the palsy followed immunization (pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis and infant Haemophilus type B vaccine). In addition, palsies were found in three teething children (patients 6, 10, and 11). [nature.com]

    Isolated abducens palsy has been reported after vaccination (measles, measles-mumps-rubella, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccines) and some documented infections i.e. [medresearch.in]

  • Pharyngitis

    Angiographic evidence of a blood supply from the external carotid artery system, especially the ascending pharyngeal artery, substantiates this diagnosis. [karger.com]

  • Diplopia

    Diplopia may be a complication after refractive surgery. Ocular lesions, including diplopia, can be amongst the presenting features of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), especially new variant CJD [ 4 ]. [patient.info]

    In other studies with smaller cohorts, the prevalence of diplopia is highly variable, ranging from 0 to 43%, and the diplopia is often accompanied by other symptoms or signs ( 8 – 10 ). [frontiersin.org]

    Neuro-Ophthalmology Diplopia – Double Vision Diplopia, also known as double vision, occurs in one of two ways. The double vision is either present with one eye open (monocular diplopia) or only with both eyes open (binocular diplopia). [eye.uci.edu]

    Cranial Nerve Muscle(s) Lesion(s) Oculomotor nerve (CN III) Extraocular muscles innervated by CN III are superior rectus (SR) infecrior rectus (IR) medial rectus (MR) inferior oblique (IO) Levator palpebrae superioris Ciliary muscle Sphincter pupillae Diplopia [medbullets.com]

    Patients will have horizontal uncrossed diplopia which is greater at distance than at near. The diplopia is also worse in the direction of the palsied muscle and gets better in the contralateral gaze (incomitant). [eyewiki.aao.org]

  • Strabismus

    Three children required strabismus surgery. None of the patients developed long-term recurrences or neurological abnormalities during a mean follow-up of more than 9 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    In cases of subsequent acquired strabismus, with a constant angle of deviation, strabismus surgery may be required. References 1. Patel SV, Muyala S, Leske DA, Hodge DO, Holmes JM. Incidence. [nature.com]

  • Cranial Nerve Involvement

    The probable mechanism of third nerve (and other cranial nerves) involvement seems to be compression in the subarachnoid space in the setting of raised ICP. [neurologyindia.com]

    Despite successful local therapy, about 80% will die of metastatic cancer within 5 years. [8] Our case presented with diplopia as the only sign of the cranial nerve involvement and this presentation is rare even in cases with skull base metastases from [ijo.in]

  • Oscillopsia

    Superior oblique myokymia, also known as superior oblique microtremor, is a rare condition that causes intermittent diplopia or the sense of oscillopsia in one eye. [medtextfree.wordpress.com]

Occlusion may also prevent secondary contracture of the medial rectus muscle of the deviating eye. [healio.com]

Therefore, if close follow-up to resolution of the palsy or paresis is not possible, neuroimaging is recommended.24 Treatment Amblyopia prevention is always key in children younger than 7 to 9 years of age. [guwsmedical.info]

Occlusion using Bangerter filter or pirate patch can eliminate diplopia and confusion, prevent amblyopia or suppression in younger patients, and decrease the possibility of ipsilateral medial rectus contracture. [eyewiki.aao.org]

In younger patients, patching may be necessary to prevent or treat amblyopia. If a compensatory head posture allowing binocular fusion is present, patching may be optional unless there is a change in visual acuity or angle of deviation. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
