To present five patients with VIth nerve palsy and ipsilateral Horner's Syndrome (HS), as a result of cavernous sinus alteration.
Consecutive case series.
Five patients presented abducens palsy with horizontal diplopia (3 in primary position and 2 in lateral gaze only) and ipsilateral HS. Apraclonidine 0.5% drops evidenced sympathetic denervation in all patients 40-60 min after instillation. All 5 cases had neuroimages (MRI in 3 cases, Computerized Tomography - CT in one case and Magnetic Resonance Angiography - MRA in one case) demonstrating cavernous sinus lesions; 2 meningiomas, 1 carotid-cavernous aneurism, 1 foreign body (bullet) and 1 squamous cell carcinoma.
Lesions on the cavernous sinus need to be considered in cases of abducens nerve palsy and ipsilateral Horner's Syndrome.
介绍5例因海绵窦病变导致第六脑神经麻痹及同侧霍纳综合征(HS)的患者。
连续病例系列。
5例患者出现外展神经麻痹伴水平复视(3例在第一眼位,2例仅在侧视时出现)及同侧HS。0.5%阿可乐定滴眼液在滴入后40 - 60分钟证实所有患者均存在交感神经去神经支配。所有5例患者均有神经影像学检查(3例为MRI,1例为计算机断层扫描 - CT,1例为磁共振血管造影 - MRA)显示海绵窦病变;2例为脑膜瘤,1例为颈内动脉海绵窦段动脉瘤,1例为异物(子弹),1例为鳞状细胞癌。
在外展神经麻痹及同侧霍纳综合征的病例中,需要考虑海绵窦病变。
