| Popis: | A 65-year-old healthy woman presented with a 15-year history of binocular horizontal diplopia worse when looking left. She had previously been thoroughly investigated multiple times for a left sixth nerve palsy (6NP) 15 years ago and had three normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain/orbits with contrast, normal acetylcholine receptor antibodies, normal thyroid function tests, normal cerebrospinal fluid, and normal nerve conduction studies and single-fibre electromyography. She was treated with prism glasses, which resulted in resolution of her symptoms in primary position. |
