Congenital trochlear palsy may manifest with sudden vertical diplopia due to decompensation during the later life, which may bring a diagnostic challenge.
Two men with vertical diplopia for several years after age of 50 were referred with persisting or suddenly aggravating diplopia. Findings were consistent with unilateral superior oblique palsy (SOP) in both patients with a contraversive head tilt. Facial asymmetry was suggestive of a congenital cause in a patient. High resolution magnetic resonance image (MRI)s disclosed atrophic superior oblique and absent trochlear nerve in the side of SOP in both patients.
Imaging demonstration of superior oblique atrophy and absent trochlear nerve may aid in diagnosis of congenital SOP presenting sudden vertical diplopia during the later life due to delayed decompensation.
先天性滑车神经麻痹可能在晚年因失代偿而突然出现垂直性复视,这可能带来诊断挑战。
两名50岁以后出现数年垂直性复视的男性因持续性或突然加重的复视而前来就诊。两名患者的检查结果均符合单侧上斜肌麻痹(SOP),伴有反向性头位倾斜。一名患者面部不对称提示为先天性病因。高分辨率磁共振成像(MRI)显示两名患者SOP侧的上斜肌萎缩且滑车神经缺如。
上斜肌萎缩及滑车神经缺如的影像学表现有助于诊断因延迟失代偿而在晚年突然出现垂直性复视的先天性SOP。
