Abstract in brief

  • Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is a rare eye condition with an unclear cause, often affecting middle-aged individuals and usually more common on the right side, especially in women.
  • The condition is thought to result from neurovascular compression or abnormal nerve transmission, and various treatments like medications (including topical beta blockers such as levobunolol), surgery, and neurosurgery have been used, but no definitive cure exists.
  • Given its rarity, treatment approaches are still being explored, with topical levobunolol recommended as a first step before considering more invasive options like systemic medications or surgery.]

A 'superior' fun case case involving the eye and looking down? Could you diagnose this if you 'saw' it? Hint: It is unilateral? Think trochlear nerve which is cranial nerve IV is involved.

Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is caused by vascular compression of the trochlear nerve. In 1998, Prof. Samii performed the first-ever microvascular decompression (MVD). Since then, only 7 cases have been reported—2 of them are mine. https://t.co/lSMJOSewNf

Don’t think it really matters, honestly. I’ve been getting my eyes checked at LC for years and just recently went to a PV by my house and it was fine. And I have superior oblique myokymia, so I’m a tougher patient than average. Gotta go to an ophthalmologist every couple years.

Shimmering vision/subtle oscillopsia Cause can be elusive but superior oblique myokymia is in the differential. "Mag up" w/hand lens, slit lamp, or direct ophthalmoscope & look for sporadic incyclotorsion (rolling down & nasally) of conjunctival vessels. Carbamazepine can work. https://t.co/AyFEmtCdEN https://t.co/85fGBOrNHy

It can be worsened by stress, fatigue, alcohol and caffeine, and can be treated by neuropathic medications (carbamazepine, gabapentin) or beta blockers (timolol). #MedTwitter #Neurotwitter #optometry #Optho https://t.co/gVMsCgKsiP
