Review of Ocular Motor Cranial Nerve Palsies in the Neuro-Ophthalmology Subspecialty Clinic, University College Hospital, Ibadan
Neuro Ophthalmology
Abstract
Introduction: Ocular motor cranial nerve palsies (OMCNP) are a common presentation in neuroophthalmology clinics worldwide1 Causes include: trauma, microvascular ischemia, nerve compression, inflammation and demyelination2 . ess frequently, congenital ranial palsies or agenesis also occur. This study was carried out to provide data on the common causes of OMCNP presenting to a neuro-ophthalmic clinic serving an indigenous Nigerian Population and to draw attention to capacity building needs in Neuroophthalmology within the Nigerian context.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with OMCNP who presented to neuro-ophthalmology clinic UCH, Ibadan between November 2007 and October 2016. Data managed & analyzed using SPSS version 22
