ophthalmoplegia/hemorrhage

A 70 year old man recovered from a left putamenal haemorrhage in 1984 with a residual mild right hemiparesis. In 1985 he presented following the sudden onset of inability to stand. The clinical findings of supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, bradykinesia and rigidity resembled those of progressive

Postoperative hemorrhages are relatively common complications of surgical procedures including craniotomies, and these typically occur at or near the operative site. Bleeding in remote areas (e.g., posterior fossa) after supratentorial craniotomy can occur and may be associated with a high morbidity

Two patients with diabetes mellitus, one of them with an isolated third cranial nerve palsy and the other with an isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy, are presented. MRI investigations including diffusion-weighted MRI revealed a small ischemic brain stem lesion in the former and a small hemorrhagic

The authors report a case of right midbrain and high pons haemorrhage with complete external ophthalmoplegia, except bilateral convergence, voluntary and automatic-reflex abduction of the left eye and adduction of this eye with vestibulo-ocular reflex ("one-and-a-half syndrome"). There is

A 65-year-old white female presented with the sudden onset of headaches, bilateral ptosis, and complete ophthalmoplegia. Other than a mild decrease in mental status, she was neurologically intact. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) examinations showed a midline hemorrhage

Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is a rare but often fatal opportunistic necrotizing infection of the sinuses, orbit, and brain caused by saprophytic fungi. It usually develops in patients with diabetes or immune system deficiency. In this study, imaging features in 3 patients with

We report a rare presentation of brucellosis as bilateral optic nerve and right abducent nerve involvement, and endocarditis complicated by right premacular hemorrhage in a 28-year-old white female. The patient showed improvement with both medical and surgical therapy. Brucellosis should be

BACKGROUND Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is a rare eye movement disorder in the pediatric population. METHODS We performed a retrospective review at a university-based tertiary referral ophthalmology practice from 2004 to 2012 to identify pediatric patients with INO. RESULTS Three patients with

Four term infants were found by computerized cerebral tomography (CT) to have intraventricular hemorrhage. All were male infants who had experienced substantial intrapartum complications. One infant had subtle clinical signs at 2 days of age; the others had major neurologic findings including

Isolated traumatic oculomotor nerve palsy without internal ophthalmoplegia is a rare condition after closed head trauma. The nerve strain leads to intraneural edema with nerve swelling on T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images and traumatic disruption of the blood peripheral nerve barrier with

A 76-year-old woman presented with an enlarged right intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm first identified incidentally when she was hospitalized for thalamic hemorrhage. She was managed conservatively for 1 year, then suffered right total ophthalmoplegia associated with enlargement of the

BACKGROUND Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) presents as a complex ocular motility problem due to medial longitudinal fasciculus damage. The symptoms are disabling and challenging to manage. We evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin in the management of INO. METHODS A retrospective review of 16
