Abstract:
Superior oblique myokymia is an unusual disorder of ocular motility characterized by rapid, small ampulitude and rotary oscillations limited to one eye. Symptoms of monocular oscillopsia and torsional diplopia are experienced by the patient, and the cause remains obscure. We experienced a case of superior oblique myokymia that developed in a 53-year-old male. We report this unusual case with literature review.
