17
Q

Binocular dilopia is the result of

A

-misalignment of the visual axes

18
Q

What causes binocular diplopia?

A

often results from paresis or paralysis of one of the cranial nerves that innervate EOM

19
Q

Cranial nerve II palsy?

A
  • weakness of MR, SR, IR, IO
  • Ptosis
  • non reactive pupil
  • eye is down and out
  • may be partial or total
20
Q

Posterior communicating artery aneurysm

A
  • may causes CN III palsy with pupil involved

- Headaches

21
Q

CN III palsy with normal pupil

A

-indicates microvascular cause
-older pt
-common with diabetes and HTN
may have mild pain at onset
-recovery within 3-4 months

22
Q

Cranial nerve VI palsy

A
  • weakness of LR with esotropia
  • esotropia and diplopia increase on gaze to the side of the lesion
  • non-localizing neurologic sign
23
Q

Causes of Cranial nerve VI palsy

A
