Trochlear Nerve Paralysis
Fourth [trochlear] Nerve Palsy

Presentation

Topics are presented logically and the text in an easy-to-read style. The accompanying line drawings emphasize important concepts in a clear and uncluttered manner. [books.google.com]

In the case presented here, the patient was educated about his new diagnosis. [reviewofoptometry.com]

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]

Eyes

  • Strabismus

    ICD-10-CM Codes › H00-H59 Diseases of the eye and adnexa › H49-H52 Disorders of ocular muscles, binocular movement, accommodation and refraction › H49- Paralytic strabismus › Fourth [trochlear] nerve palsy, unspecified eye 2016 2017 2018 2019 Billable [icd10data.com]

    Practically speaking, the specific muscle(s) involved and the etiology of a vertical strabismus not due to a fourth nerve palsy is often not resolved by the 3-step plus fourth step test, because acquired vertical strabismus is often the result of the [aao.org]

    Errors in the three-step test in the diagnosis of vertical strabismus. Ophthalmology. 1989 Jan. 96 (1):127-32. [Medline]. Kono R, Okanobu H, Ohtsuki H, Demer JL. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    Strabismus Consultation: The patient was tested with two Maddox rods and found to have an 8 diopter right hyper with the right eye extorted approximately 5 diopters in primary position. [collections.lib.utah.edu]

  • Esotropia

    Loss of the tertiary abducting action causes a V-pattern esotropia (esotropia greater in downgaze) in half of patients (2). ( Video, “congenital IV palsy” ) Bilateral IV nerve palsies show a small hypertropia in primary position, which increases with [neuroophthalmology.ca]

    Etiology Clinical features Extorsion of the eye : inability to depress and adduct the eyeball simultaneously (the pupil shoots upward during attempted adduction of the eyeball) Diplopia ( double vision ) Mild esotropia Trigeminal nerve lesion (V) Etiology [amboss.com]

    Additionally, a small esotropia may be found on down gaze as the superior oblique is also a weak abductor. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

Workup

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

Experience of the optic neuritis treatment trial. Neurology 1997:49:1404-1413. ‏ [books.google.com]

Treatment Since most fourth nerve palsies are idiopathic, treatment is conservative given the high rate of spontaneous resolution. [encyclopedia.com]

At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you. Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed, and how it will help you. [saintlukeshealthsystem.org]

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]

Prognosis

The prognosis of a fourth nerve palsy depends on the underlying etiology. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Causes and prognosis in 4,278 cases of paralysis of the oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens cranial nerves. Am J Ophthalmol. 1992 May;113(5):489-96. 16. Bagheri A, Eshaghi M. [reviewofoptometry.com]

Prognosis The prognosis for trochlear nerve palsies is dependent upon the underlying cause. Most cases of idiopathic or microvascular nerve palsies resolve within a several weeks to six-month time period without treatment. [encyclopedia.com]

Paralysis of cranial nerves III, IV and VI: cause and prognosis in 1000 cases. Arch Ophthalmol 1981;99:76-9. 30. Flanders M, Sarkis N. Fresnel membrane prisms: clinical experience. Can J Ophthalmol 1999;34(6):335-40. 31. [neuroophthalmology.ca]

Specific CN IV palsy treatments will depend on the prognosis for spontaneous recovery and the severity of symptoms. [metrowestdailynews.com]

Etiology

Etiology Clinical features Extorsion of the eye : inability to depress and adduct the eyeball simultaneously (the pupil shoots upward during attempted adduction of the eyeball) Diplopia ( double vision ) Mild esotropia Trigeminal nerve lesion (V) Etiology [amboss.com]

Incidence and Etiology of Presumed Fourth Cranial Nerve Palsy: A Population-based Study. Am J Ophthalmol. 2018 Jan. 185:110-114. [Medline]. Richards BW, Jones FR Jr, Younge BR. [emedicine.medscape.com]

However, the underlying etiologies remain unknown in most of the cases and are yet to be elucidated. [bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com]

If a presumed microvascular CN IV palsy does not spontaneously recover as expected, neuroimaging is warranted to investigate for an alternate etiology. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

Practically speaking, the specific muscle(s) involved and the etiology of a vertical strabismus not due to a fourth nerve palsy is often not resolved by the 3-step plus fourth step test, because acquired vertical strabismus is often the result of the [aao.org]

Epidemiology

Epidemiology Frequency Most cases of isolated fourth nerve palsy are believed to be congenital. [4] However, estimating the true frequency of congenital fourth nerve palsy is difficult. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology

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]

Prevention

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]
