Congenital fourth nerve palsies may present with several unique findings, as follows: Patients with long-standing head tilt present during early childhood may develop facial asymmetry.[emedicine.medscape.com]

When present at birth, it is known as congenital fourth nerve palsy. See also [ edit ] Trochlear nerve Harada-Ito procedure References [ edit ] External links [ edit ][en.wikipedia.org]
Fourth nerve palsy can be congenital or acquired, unilateral or bilateral, each of which presents with a distinct clinical picture.[patientslikeme.com]
However, the finding of one of these symptoms does not necessarily imply a specific facial nerve problem; the physician needs to make a careful investigation in order to make a precise diagnosis.[medicinenet.com]

Patients are often asymptomatic until the fourth to sixth decades of life, when their vertical fusional amplitudes diminish and diplopia develops. Most patients maintain a chronic head tilt.[aao.org]
Patients with underlying, well-controlled, and asymptomatic fourth nerve palsy may decompensate gradually as they lose binocular function resulting from cataract. Following restoration of good vision, these patients become aware of diplopia.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Any condition that leads to torticollis in early life may result in similar facial asymmetry.[emedicine.medscape.com]

For example, torticollis can produce a similar appearance. Causes [ edit ] The clinical syndromes can originate from both peripheral and central lesions.[en.wikipedia.org]

To the Editor: Although the “three-step test” is regarded as the gold standard for diagnosing fourth nerve palsies, there are a number of instances in which its usefulness is diminished, including restrictive ocular myopathies, longstanding strabismus[neurology.org]

A referral will then likely be made to a neurologist or neuro-ophthalmologist for evaluation and workup. Treatment Since most fourth nerve palsies are idiopathic, treatment is conservative given the high rate of spontaneous resolution.[encyclopedia.com]

Treatment of the cause, if identified Eye exercises Prism glasses The disorder causing 4th cranial nerve palsy, if identified, is treated. Eye exercises may help, as may wearing prism glasses.[merckmanuals.com]
Treatment Since most fourth nerve palsies are idiopathic, treatment is conservative given the high rate of spontaneous resolution.[encyclopedia.com]
The prognosis of fourth nerve palsies due to a structural lesion depend on the treatment of the underlying lesion. Most patients with symptoms that do not recover spontaneously can improve with prism or surgery.[emedicine.medscape.com]
The prognosis of a fourth nerve palsy depends on the underlying etiology.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology Congenital Trochlear Nerve Palsy A series of high-definition MRI studies by Yang et al have identified two etiologies of congenital trochlear nerve palsies, with the most common being congenital cranial dysinnervation syndrome.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology and Etiology CN IV has the longest intracranial course of any of the cranial nerves and is the only nerve to exit the brainstem dorsally. Consequently, it is especially susceptible to damage in the setting of head trauma.[webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
This condition often causes vertical or near vertical double vision as the weakened muscle prevents the eyes from moving in the same direction together.[en.wikipedia.org]
