Area of Science:

Neuro-ophthalmology
Neuroimaging
Ophthalmology

Background:

A 24-year-old woman presented with acute binocular diplopia, specifically when looking down and to the left.
Her medical history included Raynaud syndrome and recent antibiotic treatment for a presumed urinary tract infection.
Initial brain MRI and MR angiography were unremarkable, leading to a referral for specialized neuro-ophthalmic evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the cause of acute binocular diplopia in a young woman with a complex medical history.
To utilize advanced neuroimaging techniques to identify potential underlying pathologies.
To contribute to the understanding of rare causes of neuro-ophthalmic symptoms.

Main Methods:

Comprehensive neuro-ophthalmic examination including visual acuity and motility assessment.
High-spatial-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and orbits.
Review of patient's medical history, including recent infections and treatments.

Main Results:

Neuro-ophthalmic examination revealed a right hypertropia in left gaze, downgaze, and right head tilt, with right excyclotorsion.
High-spatial-resolution MRI of the brain and orbit were performed to further investigate the etiology.
The specific findings from the advanced MRI are detailed in the full study (Figs 1, 2).

Conclusions:

The case highlights a rare presentation of neuro-ophthalmic symptoms.
Advanced neuroimaging is crucial for diagnosing conditions not evident on standard MRI.
This case underscores the importance of a thorough diagnostic approach in neuro-ophthalmology.
