Presentation
Case Presentation A 44 year old man was admitted to our emergency department with a dull, moderately severe headache in right orbital area that had been present for 7 days. [amhsr.org]
The degree of anisocoria, if present, was recorded. Anisocoria, if present, was again measured under dim light conditions to rule out simple (physiological) anisocoria. [ijo.in]
The degree of anisocoria, if present and the degree of ophthalmoplegia was recorded at each visit. Results: Pupillary involvement was found to be present in 25.7% of the total number of subjects with diabetic oculomotor nerve palsy. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]

- Progressive Ophthalmoplegia
Causes and symptoms Ocular myopathy is also known as mitochondrial encephalomyelopathy with ophthalmoplegia or progressive external ophthalmoplegia. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Types of Ophthalmoplegia There are two different types of ophthalmoplegia: chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and internal ophthalmoplegia (INO). [belmarrahealth.com]
In a matter of hours, she had developed bilateral, progressive ophthalmoplegia and complete vision loss. She endorsed worsening “swelling” of the left upper eyelid and numbness around the left eye and cheek for the past 2 days. [healio.com]
They cause slowly progressive ophthalmoplegia through enlargement, often with aberrant regeneration, and may cause an acute carotid–cavernous fistula if they bleed. [medtextfree.wordpress.com]
