ophthalmoplegia/neoplasms

The cranial nerves, due to its location, are not infrequently involved in the nasopharyngeal neoplasm evolutionary course. In this paper we describe two cases in which the neoplastic infiltration in both cavernous sinuses brought the appearance of an acute bilateral ophthalmolegia on. This

A patient with advanced severe mycosis fungoides presented several unusual features, including prominent lesions of the palate and tongue and an orbital tumor with exophthalmos and ophthalmoplegia. A hitherto undescribed feature was the development of multiple, massive subcutaneous tumors unrelated

In 1964, a 51-year-old man experienced a right abducens nerve palsy, which resolved spontaneously. In 1978, he developed painful ophthalmoplegia on the right with paresis of the right oculomotor and trigeminal nerves. Neuroradiographic evaluation was reported unremarkable, and the painful

Bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is most often demyelinative in origin. Rarely, structural lesions may present with this finding, but in these cases the age at onset and the associated signs of increased intracranial pressure and widespread brainstem dysfunction usually make the

Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is a rare disorder of conjugate lateral gaze that has been described in a number of neurologic conditions including multiple sclerosis, stroke and less commonly brain tumors. We describe a series of 3 boys (11, 12, 15 years) diagnosed with primary central nervous

We report an unusual case of bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia occurring in association with fourth ventricular dermoid tumor and we review the current literature.

A 49-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis diagnosed by her classical clinical history and bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia was found to have an epidermoid tumor of the fourth ventricle. Removal of the tumor resulted in resolution of her neurological symptoms and signs.

Varicella zoster virus lies dormant in the dorsal root ganglia after symptomatic chicken pox infection, usually in childhood. If the virus reactivates in the trigeminal ganglia, it can cause varicella zoster ophthalmicus, which can have severe ocular complications. We report a case of a 73-year-old
