can be caused by any of several neurologic disorders. It may be myopathic, meaning that the muscles controlling eye movement are directly involved, or neurogenic, meaning that the nerve pathways controlling eye muscles are affected. Diseases associated with ophthalmoplegia are ocular myopathy, which affects muscles, and internuclear ophthalmoplegia, a disorder caused by multiple sclerosis, a disease which affects nerves.
A tumor or aneurysm in the cavernous sinus, located behind the eyes, can cause painful ophthalmoplegia. Painful ophthalmoplegia can also be caused by an inflammatory process in the same area, called Tolosa-Hunt syndrome
The condition can be caused by any of several neurologic disorders
The potential energy internuclear distance graph shows that potential energy decreases as internuclear distance increases. This indicates an inverse relationship between potential energy and internuclear distance.
There are no specific cures for ocular myopathy or progressive external ophthalmoplegia
mitochondrial encephalomyelopathy with ophthalmoplegia or progressive external ophthalmoplegia
Ophthalmoplegia is a paralysis or weakness of one or more of the muscles that control eye movement
The medial longitudinal fasciculus is a neural pathway in the brainstem that connects the nuclei responsible for eye movements. This pathway allows for coordinated movements of the eyes, particularly in response to visual stimuli. Dysfunction of the medial longitudinal fasciculus can result in conditions such as internuclear ophthalmoplegia.
Because the eyes do not move together in ophthalmoplegia, patients may complain of double vision
Yes
Kearns-Sayre syndrome causes ophthalmoplegia along with loss of pigment in the retina, the light-sensitive membrane lining the eye
Yes
