Abstract：
INTRODUCTION:The presence of quick onset binocular diplopy makes it essential to carry out a comprehensive differential diagnosis. The most frequent causes in adults include vascular, post-traumatic, tumorous and myopathic pathologies. Yet, to perform a differential diagnosis we also have to take into account less common aetiologies such as demyelinating disease, carotid-cavernous fistulas and Tolosa Hunt syndrome, among others. We report the case of a patient who was admitted to our hospital because she presented an acute onset diplopy secondary to a spontaneous haematoma of the left rectus inferior. CASE REPORT:We describe the case of a 54-year-old female with a history of hypercholesterolemia, who was a smoker and allergic to iodine contrasts and who visited because of an acute onset diplopy accompanied by instability and pain in the left eye. The neurological examination revealed paresis of the extraocular muscles dependent on the left oculomotor nerve with left palpebral ptosis, paresis of the rectus inferior, with no involvement of the pupils. Other results of the exploration were within normal limits. A computerised axial tomography scan of the head showed a haemorrhage in the rectus inferior. Magnetic resonance images of the head revealed an increase in the volume of the left-side rectus inferior with signs of bleeding, and the rest of the complementary explorations were normal. The patient progressed favourably and the diplopy gradually disappeared. CONCLUSIONS:Spontaneous bleeding of the extraocular muscles, although infrequent, must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of painful ophthalmoplegia with diplopy in patients with no underlying pathology, especially in the absence of other neurological disorders.
