Bilateral Abducens

Abstract Although unilateral abducens nerve palsy has been reported to be as high as 1% to 2.7% of traumatic brain injury, bilateral abducens nerve palsy following injury is extremely rare. In this report, we present the case of a patient who developed isolated bilateral abducens nerve palsy following minor head injury. He had a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 15 points. Computed tomography (CT) images & Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain demonstrated no intracranial lesion. Herein, we discuss the possible mechanisms of bilateral abducens nerve palsy and its management.

Orbital Pain

Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed both optic nerve tortuosity and kinking in a 64-year-old man with orbital pain and monolateral abducens nerve palsy. The association between optic nerve tortuosity and abducens nerve palsy is often described in literature reports of idiopathic intracranial hypertension. However the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension was excluded in our patient because of the absence of other signs such as papilledema (universally present in the cases of idiopathic intracranial hypertension), visual loss, headache and flattening of the posterior sclera. Other possible diagnoses to be considered when looking at a case of optic nerve tortuosity are neurofibromatosis and/or optic nerve glioma. Tortuosity of both optic nerves seems to be isolated in our patient and not associated with other diseases or disorders. We suggest that in some patients optic nerve tortuosity could be correlated with an aberrant anatomical development of the optic nerve. Further studies are necessary to confirm this hypothesis which currently remains conjectural.
