Abstract:
Superior oblique myokymia refers to a disorder characterized by involuntary torsional and vertical oscillation of one eye, lasting several seconds to minutes with an irregular interval. We report a 44-year-old woman with superior oblique myokymia, who presented with quivering sensation and oscillopsia of the left eye. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was normal. The involuntary eye movement and oscillopsia responded to carbamazepine.
