Abstract :

Whether you are practicing in a referral-based clinic, primary-care office, or commercial setting, we will all encounter patients with diplopia. There are a wealth of articles, studies, and lectures on how to diagnose and manage diplopia. We present a review of the most common ocular motor cranial neuropathies and internuclear ophthalmoplegia. This course is largely case-based and will be presented in a grand rounds fashion. The attendee will learn novice and advanced in-office techniques for identifying the cranial nerves palsies, we well as internuclear ophthalmoplegia. In addition, the participant will learn which cases require laboratory testing and imaging and which cases require emergent referral.
