Abstract:
A 63-year-old man with diabetes presented with unilateral ptosis and an exotropia. A diagnosis of isolated diabetic III nerve palsy was made. Subsequent neuro-ophthalmologic evaluation showed multiple cranial nerves involvement consistent with a diagnosis of orbital apex syndrome. Review of past medical history was significant for a previous nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and biopsy of the involved site was consistent with tumor recurrence. This case highlights the importance of correct medical history taking and anatomo-clinical correlation in neuro-ophthalmology.
