- Abstract:
Introduction: To study the rare and unusual causes of monocular elevation deficit.
Methods: Five patients presenting to us with diplopia and elevation deficit were thoroughly examined and were found to have monocular elevation deficit due to rare causes.
Observations: All five were found to have different underlying etiologies - iatrogenic, sphenoid wing meningioma, cysticercosis, sarcoidosis and mid brain infarct, and were managed appropriately.
Discussion: Monocular Elevation Deficit can occur due to a variety of causes. Having a high index of suspicion for the more serious etiologies is of utmost importance. Thorough clinical examination and imaging help clinch the diagnosis.
