摘要:

This is a report of two cases of optociliary shunt vessels in patients with neonatal hydrocephalus. Complete disappearance of the optociliary shunt vessels occurred after surgical procedures to normalize intracranial pressure. The clinicopathological significance, prognosis, and treatment of patients with acquired optociliary shunt vessels is discussed. This is also the first report of the association of optociliary shunt vessels and neonatal hydrocephalus.

摘要:

A 16-year-old boy developed monocular visual loss due to optic neuropathy following frontal head trauma. His trauma was unique in that it consisted of a static loading force to the brow, rather than the dynamic impact more commonly associated with blunt orbital injuries. This case demonstrates the role of isolated deformation of orbital bones in the pathogenesis of indirect optic nerve injury.

摘要:

Sympathetic fibers destined for the eye join the abducens nerve for a short distance within the cavernous sinus; thus, a unilateral sixth nerve palsy with an ipsilateral Horner's syndrome is of significant localizing value. We report two cases of cavernous sinus lesions producing an ipsilateral abducens palsy and Horner's syndrome: one case due to an intrinsic and the other to an extrinsic lesion of the sinus region.

摘要:

We observed a bilateral accommodative paresis associated with a spontaneous parieto-occipital hematoma in a 37-year old patient. There was no clinical or computerized tomography (CT) evidence of transtentorial herniation or upper brainstem pathology. With resolution of the hematoma, accommodation returned to normal.

摘要:

Amiodarone, an antiarrhythmic agent, has been associated with mild visual loss secondary to papillopathy and papilledema. We report a patient who developed bilateral optic neuropathy 4 weeks after initiation of amiodarone therapy. Nine months later, his vision was 20/50 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left. This report provides additional evidence that amiodarone may cause toxic optic neuropathy.

摘要:

A student was diagnosed as having Wilson's disease only after the severe, intermittent inability to open his eyes led him to seek neurologic evaluation. Although lid-opening apraxia is usually a symptom of diffuse extrapyramidal disease, it has not previously been reported in Wilson's disease.

摘要:

Following aminoglycoside antibiotic therapy, two patients developed self-limited subjective oscillopsia in the absence of a detectable ocular motility disturbance (nystagmus or opsoclonus). Oscillopsia represents a rare, but highly distressing symptom resulting from disruption of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, producing profound illusory movement of the visual environment. Although the differential diagnosis includes vascular, inflammatory, and structural disorders impacting on either the central or peripheral projections of this brainstem reflex, iatrogenic aminoglycoside ototoxicity was the likely explanation in the two patients presented. Ways of minimizing the risk of aminoglycoside toxicity are briefly reviewed.

摘要:

A patient with paranasal sinus lymphoma (recognized retrospectively) developed unilateral, acute, self-limited optic neuritis during the course of chronic lymphocytic meningitis with elevated intracranial pressure and headache. Meningeal symptoms were adequately controlled with analgesics alone for 14 months and corticosteroids alone for a subsequent 11 months without evidence of development of other involvement of organs outside the central nervous system (CNS). Eventually, the visual alteration from optic neuritis prompted a repeat evaluation, which disclosed lymphoma in bone marrow. The subject of paraneoplastic optic neuritis is reviewed.
