Total (external) ophthalmoplegia - what does this mean
Total (external) ophthalmoplegia is a condition in which all of the muscles that control eye movement are paralyzed, resulting in an inability to move the eyes in any direction. this paralysis is caused by damage to the nerves that control the eye muscles, such as those found in the brain stem or the peripheral nervous system.
What happens during the disease - total (external) ophthalmoplegia
Total (external) ophthalmoplegia is a neurological disorder resulting from damage to the cranial nerves that control the eye muscles. it is caused by a disruption of the normal conduction of signals between the brain and the eye muscles, which can be due to a variety of causes, such as stroke, trauma, brain tumours, or inflammation of the nerves. symptoms include paralysis of the extraocular muscles, diplopia, and reduced visual acuity. treatment is aimed at addressing the underlying cause, and may involve medications, physical therapy, and/or surgery.
