Bilateral trochlear nerve palsies without other signs of dorsal midbrain syndrome following spontaneous midbrain haemorrhage is extremely rare. We report the case of a 37-year-old man with bilateral trochlear nerve palsies causing superior oblique palsies (SOP) from dorsal midbrain haemorrhage which recovered with conservative management. The report highlights the need for imaging in patients with spontaneous bilateral superior oblique (BSO) motility deficits.

Associations Between Body Mass Index, Gait Biomechanics, and In Vivo Cartilage Function After Exercise in Those With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Am J Sports Med
November 2024
School of Kinesiology, Rehabilitation Biomechanics Laboratory, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
Background: Both high body mass index (BMI) and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) independently influence knee osteoarthritis risk. Preliminary evidence shows the combination of these risk factors leads to poorer recovery and altered biomechanical outcomes after ACLR, but few studies have directly evaluated early changes in cartilage health between normal-BMI and high-BMI groups in this population.
Purpose: To evaluate ultrasound-based measures of cartilage strain and compositional changes (via echo-intensity [EI]) in response to an incline walking stress test between normal-BMI and high-BMI individuals with ACLR.

Spinal anesthesia is one of the most frequently performed regional anesthesia techniques for a variety of surgeries world-wide. Cranial nerve palsy is a rarely reported complication of central neuraxial block. The etiology varies; however, it is most often associated with nerve compression or traction due to intracranial hypotension.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the use of ultrasound (US) imaging to evaluate the alignment of the extensor mechanism in the patellofemoral joint, comparing patients with and without patellar instability to establish reliability and validity of the measures.
- - Results show that patients with patellar instability have a significantly smaller distance between the midpoint of the patellar tendon and the lateral trochlear ridge, indicating a misalignment compared to healthy controls.
- - The interrater reliability of the ultrasound measurements was deemed good, indicating that this method could be a reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional MRI assessments for evaluating patellofemoral instability.
Bilateral Congenital Trochlear-Oculomotor Synkinesis in a 5-Month-Old Infant.
J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus
September 2024
Oculomotor synkinesis is an unusual phenomenon that encompasses various presentations with few associations reported in the literature. It can occur with or without a previous setting of oculomotor nerve injury. The authors present the first reported case of bilateral congenital trochlear-oculomotor synkinesis in a 5-month-old infant.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between subregional NaF-SUV values, T-T measurements, and vertical ground reaction forces in patients with isolated patellofemoral-joint-osteoarthritis (PFJ-OA).
- Thirty-five PFJ-OA patients underwent advanced imaging scans to assess their knee conditions and calculate loading rates during walking trials.
- Results revealed complex associations between bone and cartilage measurements, highlighting a notable link between increased bone uptake and gait characteristics, suggesting important clinical implications for PFJ-OA management.
