[Nuclear magnetic resonance study of oculomotor alterations in multiple sclerosis]. 1989

M C Boschi, and G Dal Pozzo, and P Grasso-Cannizzo, and N Taverni

The authors employing N.M.R. have studied 18 patients affected by M.S. with oculomotor alterations. In 16 cases a relation between location of the lesions and clinical features has been documented; in 2 cases with subclinical paralysis N.M.R. has not documented macroscopic lesions in the brainstem: the presence of multiple lesions in the cerebral white matter however is indicative of supranuclear centers involvement.

D009103	Multiple Sclerosis	An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.

D009682	Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy	Spectroscopic method of measuring the magnetic moment of elementary particles such as atomic nuclei, protons or electrons.

D015840	Oculomotor Nerve Diseases	Diseases of the oculomotor nerve or nucleus that result in weakness or paralysis of the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique, or levator palpebrae muscles, or impaired parasympathetic innervation to the pupil. With a complete oculomotor palsy, the eyelid will be paralyzed, the eye will be in an abducted and inferior position, and the pupil will be markedly dilated. Commonly associated conditions include neoplasms, CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, ischemia (especially in association with DIABETES MELLITUS), and aneurysmal compression.
