Differences in elastometry of cornea and optic nerve head in both eyes of patients with NAION

1 February 2019 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Corneal hysteresis, corneal resistance factor, non-arteritic anterior ischaemic neuropathy, optic nerve head biomechanics, real-time elastography

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is an important cause of visual loss in the middle aged and elderly population. This prospective cross-sectional study investigates the biomechanical properties of optic nerve head (ONH) and cornea in both eyes of patients...

A rare case of oculomotor nerve palsy from presumed cavernous angioma

1 February 2019 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Cavernous angioma, infant, oculomotor nerve, oculomotor nerve palsy, schwannoma

Cavernous angiomas of the cranial nerves are extremely rare, and those of the oculomotor (third) nerve are rarer still. The authors present a single case study of presumed cavernous angioma involving the subarachnoid portion of the left third nerve, which...

EP in a case of abducens nerve palsy

1 February 2019 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Abducens nerve palsy, clivus, ecchordosis physaliphora, retro clival mass, sixth cranial nerve palsy

Ecchordosis physaliphora (EP) is a rare non-malignant mass that originates from remains of the notochord and is typically asymptomatic. Symptomatic cases are extremely rare, and the majority are managed by surgical resection. This case study reports a 42-year-old male who...
