Abstract:
We present a unique case of isolated bilateral simultaneous cranial nerve (CN) IV palsy in a patient with neuromyelitis optica (NMO). Although some CN IV abnormalities have been described in multiple sclerosis (MS), no case of isolated bilateral simultaneous CN IV has been reported, to our knowledge, in either NMO or MS.
