Isolated Medial Rectus Palsy as a Presentation of Midbrain Infarct
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Isolated ocular muscle palsy involving lateral rectus and superior oblique is very common due to individual nerve supply but isolated palsy of the remaining four ocular muscles is a very rare condition and most of the recorded cases are either due to midbrain infarct or local pathological causes. A 60 years female presenting with diplopia on left lateral gaze without any other neurological abnormality was diagnosed as isolated medial rectus palsy due to incomplete involvement of oculomotor nucleus by DWI imaging and fully recovered after treatment with antihypertensive and statin.
