Abstract
We present the work-up and treatment for 25 patients with inferior oblique palsy, including 2 with bilateral inferior oblique palsy and 23 with unilateral inferior oblique palsy. Nineteen patients were adults over the age of 21 years, and six were children under the age of 10 years. Sixteen adults and two children underwent CT scanning of the head. All scans were normal. Eight adults also underwent MRI evaluation of the head. These also were all normal. All adults had a negative Tensilon test for myasthenia gravis. The majority presented with a head tilt to the side of the paretic muscle. None of these patients complained of tilting images, but incyclotorsion was measurable in all cases that were tested. The most important conclusion from this study is that inferior oblique palsy is a benign entity, with none of these patients having a brain tumor or myasthenia gravis.
