[Oculomotor disorders due to general causes]

The paper presents the clinical course and the problems appeared in making positive and etiological diagnosis for three cases of oculomotor disorders with diplopia, in adult patients. These are two cases of thyroid ophthalmopathy and one of myasthenia gravis. Atypical evolution in one case of thyroid ophthalmopathy and in that one with myasthenia gravis, made difficult the diagnosis and requested complex investigations.
