Article Synopsis
  • - Brown syndrome involves difficulty in raising the affected eye, primarily due to issues with the superior oblique tendon, which can be caused by various factors, including inflammation or trauma.
  • - A study reviewed MRI findings of 6 patients to identify inflammatory changes in the superior oblique tendon-trochlea complex, noting a distinctive "eyelet sign" on imaging.
  • - The results showed that inflammation can improve with either time or anti-inflammatory treatments, providing a clear connection between MRI findings and clinical management for both pediatric and adult patients.

Background: To investigate and quantify the impact of intracranial lesions at different locations within the visual pathway on the ganglion cell layer-inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL) complex and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL).

Methods: Patients with intracranial lesions affecting the optic chiasm (Group I) or the optic tract and/or lateral geniculate nucleus (Group II) were included. All patients received kinetic visual field assessment and underwent spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
