Whats wrong with the Eyes? Empty Whats wrong with the Eyes?

Post  Abbas Thu Nov 25, 2010 9:22 pm

A 37 year old man presented with a double vision. His wife stated
that his neck seems to be in spasm as he is always tilting his head towards the left
side like this:
Whats wrong with the Eyes? Untitl15

He denied any pain or spasm in his neck muscles. Your colleague who is sitting
beside you told him to tilt his head towards the right side, and you noticed
something:
Whats wrong with the Eyes? Untitl16

What do you notice?
a. Dropping of the left eye brow.
b. Dropping of the right upper eye lid.
c. Contraction of the frontalis muscles.
d. Slight elevation of the right pupil.
e. Excessive tearing.

Whats wrong with the Eyes? Empty Why right pupil is elevated

Good observation, but why right pupil is elevated? Read the answer

This acquired head tilting, with positive Beilschowsky sign ( ie slight elevation of the pupil upon titling the head towards the ipsilateral side), with an increase in double vision, is highly characteristic of 4th cranial nerve palsy causing weakness of superior oblique muscle. He has right sided 4th cranial nerve palsy.

Is it because of the un-opposed pull of the inferior oblique muscle on the ipsilateral side?
