Ocular neuromyotonia, a rare motility disorder, can occur after radiation therapy. This case highlights intermittent diplopia in a patient six months post-treatment for a pituitary adenoma.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-ophthalmology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Ocular neuromyotonia is a rare motility disorder.
  • It typically arises after skull base tumor irradiation or from vascular abnormalities.
  • Differential diagnoses include ocular myasthenia, convergence spasm, and cyclic third nerve palsy.

Observation:

  • A case of a 32-year-old woman is presented.
  • She experienced intermittent diplopia.
  • Symptoms appeared six months after radiation therapy for a recurrent pituitary gland adenoma.

Findings:

  • The patient's symptoms are consistent with ocular neuromyotonia.
  • Radiation therapy is a potential cause of this motility disorder.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering ocular neuromyotonia in patients with diplopia post-radiation.
  • Awareness of this condition aids in accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Further research into the long-term effects of radiation on ocular motility is warranted.
