Two middle-aged patients developed an unusual ocular motility disturbance following surgery and radiation therapy for pituitary adenoma invasive into cavernous sinus. |
| Pathology |
Esotropia |
| Disease/Diagnosis |
Oculomotor nerve disease |
| Clinical |
n each case the disturbance of ocular motility was characterized by brief episodic myotonic contraction of muscles supplied by the third cranial nerve resulting in esotropia of the affected eye (medial rectus contraction) with accompanying failure of elevation and depression (cocontraction of superior and inferior recti) of the globe. |
