    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bilateral superior oblique palsy, often following severe head trauma in adults, commonly causes vertical or torsional double vision. Surgical intervention can address persistent diplopia in some affected individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Neuro-ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Bilateral superior oblique palsy is a rare condition.
    • It is frequently associated with severe head trauma in adult patients.
    • Patients typically present with significant visual disturbances.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively analyze cases of bilateral superior oblique palsy.
    • To describe the clinical presentation and associated neurological sequelae.
    • To evaluate surgical outcomes for patients with persistent diplopia.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series review of 18 consecutive patients.
    • Analysis of patient history, symptoms (diplopia type), and neurological findings.
    • Review of surgical interventions and outcomes for a subset of patients.

    Main Results:

    • All 18 patients experienced vertical, torsional, or combined diplopia.
    • Severe head trauma was a common preceding factor.
    • Neurological sequelae and central fusion disruption were noted in several patients.
    • Eight patients underwent surgery with outcomes briefly discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Bilateral superior oblique palsy is strongly linked to head trauma in adults.
    • Diplopia is the primary complaint, often with complex visual disturbances.
    • Surgery may be a viable option for managing persistent diplopia in these cases.
