Isolated bilateral abducens palsy

H B Wagner, C L Haine

    Journal of the American Optometric Association
    |June 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Sudden onset of abducens palsy linked to brainstem stroke from hypertension can gradually resolve. Patients with sudden double vision require neurological evaluation to determine the cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Internal Medicine
    • Vascular Neurology

    Background:

    • Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular events.
    • Brainstem infarcts can manifest with diverse neurological deficits.

    Observation:

    • A case of abducens palsy with sudden onset and gradual regression is presented.
    • The palsy was secondary to an isolated brainstem infarct attributed to hypertension.

    Findings:

    • The study illustrates the correlation between hypertension-induced brainstem infarcts and abducens nerve dysfunction.
    • Complete recovery from abducens palsy following the infarct was observed.

    Implications:

    • Patients experiencing sudden diplopia (double vision) warrant prompt referral to neurology or internal medicine.
  • Thorough etiological workup is crucial for managing sudden-onset neurological symptoms like diplopia.
