Congenital fourth nerve palsies may present with several unique findings, as follows: Patients with long-standing head tilt present during early childhood may develop facial asymmetry. [emedicine.medscape.com]

When present at birth, it is known as congenital fourth nerve palsy. See also [ edit ] Trochlear nerve Harada-Ito procedure References [ edit ] External links [ edit ] [en.wikipedia.org]

• Diplopia

  Indications for surgery include worsening diplopia, head-tilt resulting in neck pain and poor cosmetic appearance. [encyclopedia.com]

  A fourth nerve palsy typically causes diplopia that is worse in downgaze; hence, patients almost always report diplopia (or the tendency to close 1 eye) while reading. [aao.org]

  He had no diplopia with one eye covered confirming binocular diplopia. [collections.lib.utah.edu]

  When looking down and in (medially) with the bad eye there will be DIPLOPIA. The false image will lie below the true image ( vertical diplopia) and will be somewhat oblique ( torsional diplopia). [neuroanatomy.wisc.edu]

  Torsional diplopia and downgaze horizontal diplopia may be predominant complaints in bilateral palsies. [17] Patients may adopt a characteristic head tilt, away from affected side to reduce their diplopia. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Esotropia

• Stroke

  Having double vision and a sudden severe headache could be a symptom of a stroke. Call 911 right away if you think you may be having a stroke. It could be from to a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). [saintlukeshealthsystem.org]

  Causes of unilateral CN IV lesions: Head injury (most common) Brainstem lesion - unlikely stroke, more likely tumour. [derangedphysiology.com]

  Other acquired causes include brain conditions such as strokes, mass lesions, eye lesions, endocrine diseases such as diabetes or some thyroid conditions, inflammatory or autoimmune conditions like myasthenia gravis or others. [metrowestdailynews.com]

  Most cases of acquired fourth nerve palsy results from dysfunction of the nerve itself, although cerebrovascular accidents ( stroke ) may directly injure the nucleus. Demographics Fourth nerve palsies have no predilection for males or females. [encyclopedia.com]

  Lesions affecting the CN IV nucleus can arise from hemorrhage, infarction/stroke, trauma/surgical injury, or demyelination in the midbrain and will result in dysfunction of the contralateral superior oblique muscle. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

A referral will then likely be made to a neurologist or neuro-ophthalmologist for evaluation and workup. Treatment Since most fourth nerve palsies are idiopathic, treatment is conservative given the high rate of spontaneous resolution. [encyclopedia.com]

The prognosis of a fourth nerve palsy depends on the underlying etiology. [emedicine.medscape.com]

However, the underlying etiologies remain unknown in most of the cases and are yet to be elucidated. [bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com]

Epidemiology Frequency Most cases of isolated fourth nerve palsy are believed to be congenital. [4] However, estimating the true frequency of congenital fourth nerve palsy is difficult. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology Congenital Trochlear Nerve Palsy A series of high-definition MRI studies by Yang et al have identified two etiologies of congenital trochlear nerve palsies, with the most common being congenital cranial dysinnervation syndrome. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology and Etiology CN IV has the longest intracranial course of any of the cranial nerves and is the only nerve to exit the brainstem dorsally. Consequently, it is especially susceptible to damage in the setting of head trauma. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

This condition often causes vertical or near vertical double vision as the weakened muscle prevents the eyes from moving in the same direction together. [en.wikipedia.org]
