Bilateral internal ophthalmoplegia as a feature of oculomotor fascicular syndrome disclosed by magnetic resonance imaging - 09/09/11
Abstract |
Purpose: |
To describe the magnetic resonance imaging features of bilateral internal Ophthalmoplegia as an oculomotor fascicular syndrome.
Method: |
A 55-year-old man was initially examined with bilateral photophobia. Neuro-ophthalmologic examinations disclosed preganglionic bilateral internal ophthalmoplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brainstem was performed.
Results: |
Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed high-intensity areas on T2-weighted images along medial portions of the bilateral oculomotor fascicles in the mesencephalon.
Conclusion: |
These findings suggest that mesencephalic lesions may selectively cause bilateral internal ophthalmoplegia as a partial oculomotor fascicular syndrome.
