| description | The causes of painful ophthalmoplegia that manifests with third nerve palsy in childhood include postinfectious third nerve palsy, compressive
lesions, vascular anomalies and ophthalmoplegic migraine. Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare pathology in the literature and is characterized
by recurrent attacks of headache and ophthalmoplegia that usually begins during childhood. Ophtalmoplegia occurs due to paresis or paralysis
of cranial nerves 3, 4 or 6. Attacks may last a few hours to weeks and usually are recovered with appropriate therapy, but some cases may
demonstrate permanent defects. In this paper, we discuss the case of an 11-year-old patient, who was admitted to our outpatient clinic with
the complaints of right ptosis, mydriasis and severe headache. Ophthalmologic examination revealed oculomotor nerve palsy, the patient was
diagnosed as having ophthalmoplegic migraine and medical treatment was started. Her complaints have regressed with medication for
migraine and recovered completely in 8 weeks. In this case report, painful ophthalmoplegia during childhood and its possible causes are
discussed. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2012; 42: 159-62) |
