diplopia/neoplasms

Among 716 patients with intracranial blastomatous changes 74 showed diplopia as a consequence of involvement of the oculomotorius, trochlearis or (and) the abducens nerve. Diplopia as primary symptom of disease was observed in 20 cases. Patients with isolated initial diplopia were on average 10

BACKGROUND Orbital emphysema is a common complication of trauma and fracture of orbital bones. However, subcutaneous emphysema also can rarely lead to orbital emphysema. We reported the clinical and radiological findings in a patient with diplopia and blepharoptosis following thoracotomy for lung

A 75-year-old man suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, myxoedema and type II diabetes mellitus, presented with occasional double vision and photosensitivity. The patient underwent an MRI of the brain showing a tumour located in the right of the sphenoid bone. A subsequent diagnostic CT scan of the

This paper highlights the case of a 46-year-old female patient who seeks ophthalmic medical advice for her complaint about double vision on right gaze. Patient's medical history reveals several symptoms like headaches, progressive hearing loss on right side and dysphonia for which all investigations

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Distant metastasis of gastrotintestinal stromal tumors occurs in ∼50% of the cases and is usually found in the liver and peritoneum. We present a patient with diplopia which was due to a

OBJECTIVE Trochlear nerve schwannomas without neurofibromatosis are very rare. No more than 33 cases have been pathologically verified. None of the reported cases showed postoperative improvement of trochlear palsy. The authors present a case of trochlear palsy due to a trochlear nerve schwannoma

A 47-year-old woman with metastatic infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the breast developed diplopia. Computed tomography of the orbits showed enlargement and irregularity of the right inferior rectus and inferior obliques muscles. Biopsies of these muscles contained breast carcinoma cells. This case

Oil-drop cataracts are detrimental to patients because of their capacity to cause rapid, and often unexplained, myopic progression with concomitant diplopia complaints. When not properly identified, they can lead to costly and unnecessary workups and referrals. Early diagnosis is important but

Structural lesions involving the visual pathways often require tissue diagnosis to guide therapy. However, pathology is not always definitive, and a biopsy showing poorly differentiated cells poses significant difficulty in identifying the primary tumour. We report a case of metastatic disease
