Ophthalmoplegia
Definition
Ophthalmoplegia is a paralysis or weakness of one or more of the muscles that control eye movement. The condition 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. Description
Because the eyes do not move together in ophthalmoplegia, patients may complain of double vision. Double vision is especially troublesome if the ophthalmoplegia comes on suddenly or affects each eye differently. Because ophthalmoplegia is caused by another, underlying disease, it is often associated with other neurologic symptoms, including limb weakness, lack of coordination, and numbness.
Ocular myopathy is also known as mitochondrial encephalomyelopathy with ophthalmoplegia or progressive external ophthalmoplegia. Because it is so often associated with diseases affecting many levels of the neurologic system, it is often referred to as "ophthalmoplegia plus." The main feature is progressive limitation of eye movements, usually with drooping of the eyelids (

Summary and Discussion
Albert Yen, M.D.
Resident, Department of Neurology Diagnosis:
CIDP involving Ocular Cranial Nerves
The key issue was whether or not the patient's diplopia was related in etiology to her progressive weakness. Conditions which can cause both extremity weakness and ophthalmoparesis include:
The EMG revealed a polyneuropathy, not myopathy or neuromuscular junction deficit. The absence of a decremental response during repetitive nerve stimulation and the negative Tensilon test also did not support this diagnosis. Moreover, this would be a late age for the initial presentation of MG.
Diabetes:
Although diabetes can cause almost any type of neuropathy, the most common pattern is a distal, symmetrical sensorimotor polyneuropathy that is primarily axonal in nature. Cranial nerve infarcts may lead to eye motility problems in diabetics, but this usually involves an acute, painful onset of ophthalmoparesis, and would be unlikely to involve four separate cranial nerves. In this patient, both the glucose tolerance test and the glycosylated hemoglobin level were normal, effectively ruling out diabetes.
The Miller Fisher variant accounts for about 5 percent of GBS cases and is characterized by total external ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. Elevated anti-GQ1b ganglioside antibodies are consistently found. In this patient, the progressive extremity weakness for several months prior to the onset of diplopia is not consistent with GBS.

CPEO
(Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia) CPEO tilhører gruppen af mitokondrie-sygdomme CPEO er en kronisk fremadskridende lammelse af de ydre øjenmuskler, mens de indre øjenmuskler er intak-te. Hvis lammelsen forekommer dobbeltsidigt, kan det medføre et stift ansigtsudtryk med hængende øjenlåg. Dertil kan man også have ændret pigmentering af nethinden (retinitis pigmentosa), svage lemmer og generelt være plaget af forøget træthed. CPEO viser sig efter 20-års-alderen. Med tiden kan man udvikle døvhed, miste sine reflekser, få forhøjet mælkesyreindholdet i blodet, få koordinationsbesvær og noget der ligner slagtilfælde. CPEO beskrives ofte som en mildere grad af Kearns-Sayre Syndrom, hvor der er flere mitokondrier med muteret DNA. Og i mod-sætning til Kearns-Sayre syndrom, har CPEO ofte et godartet forløb.
Diagnosen stilles bl.a. ved hjælp af arbejdstests, hvor man bl.a. måler kroppens oxygenoptagelse, blodprøver, muskelbiopsier og genetiske analyser. Muskelbiopsier giver ofte entydige svar i den diagnostiske udredning af CPEO. Der findes ingen helbredende behandling, kun symptombehandling.
CPEO skyldes sædvanligvis en spontan mutation, og man vil derfor sjældent have oplevet syndromet tidligere i familiens historie.

Final Diagnosis
Mitochondrial Myopathy
The differential diagnosis of this patient's weakness, ptosis, and progressive opthalmoplegia includes two main possibilities: myasthenia gravis (or other neuromuscular junction disorder) and a mitochondrial disorder. The fatigability on examination and the positive tensilon test argue in favor of the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. However, this diagnosis was not supported by the negative acetylcholine receptor antibodies and the electrodiagnostic studies, which have sensitivities of 85% and over 90% respectively in myasthenia gravis. Mitochondrial disorders can also show progressive external opthalmoplegia and weakness, but are more rare. The muscle biopsy was done to verify the possibility of a mitochondrial myopathy and, in fact, confirmed it. Microscopy Discussion:
The biopsy shows a florid mitochondrial myopathy. The clinical phenotype corresponds to the so-called progressive external ophthalmoplegia plus pattern. In the vast majority of these cases, a common deletion in the mitochondrial DNA can be found. In this patient however, mitochondrial DNA analysis failed to show such a defect or for that matter any of the common mutations known to occur in mitochondrial diseases. This raises the possibility of a defect in one of the nuclear-encoded subunits of cytochrome oxidase being responsible for this disease. Alternatively, this could represent a novel mitochondrial DNA mutation. The patient's family history was not helpful in that regard.
