Diplopia is a very disturbing condition that has been reported as a complication of several surgical procedures. The following review aims to identify the ocular and nonocular surgical techniques more often associated with this undesirable result. Diplopia is reported as an adverse outcome of some neurosurgical procedures, dental procedures, endoscopic paranasal sinus surgery, and several ophthalmic procedures. The most common patterns and some recommendations in order to prevent and treat this frustrating outcome are also given.

Iatrogenic botulism after intragastric botulinum neurotoxin injections - a major outbreak.
Neurol Res Pract
October 2024
Department of Neurology and Center for Translational Neuro- and Behavioral Sciences (C-TNBS), University Hospital Essen, University of Duisburg-Essen, Hufelandstr. 55, 45147, Essen, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Intragastric botulinum neurotoxin injections (IBNI) are being used as a weight-loss treatment, but an outbreak of severe iatrogenic botulism occurred in early 2023 in Europe after patients received this treatment in Turkey.
- A retrospective analysis was conducted on ten patients in Austria and Germany who experienced severe symptoms like double vision, swallowing difficulties, and paralysis after IBNI.
- Despite the severity of their conditions, all patients were hospitalized, many in intensive care, and ultimately recovered without lasting health issues, underscoring the need for awareness and risk mitigation in medical procedures involving botulinum neurotoxins.
Article Synopsis
- A forehead lift is generally considered a safe surgical procedure, but it can have complications, including a rare condition known as iatrogenic superior oblique (SO) paresis.
- The report discusses a case of a 30-year-old woman who experienced vertical double vision (diplopia) after undergoing a brow and forehead lift, with an identified right eye SO muscle issue.
- After a follow-up period of three months, her symptoms resolved completely, indicating that iatrogenic SO paresis often improves on its own without any lasting effects.
Small tuck for superior oblique palsy.
J AAPOS
August 2024
Kellogg Eye Center, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the surgical outcomes of small superior oblique (SO) tucks in patients with unilateral SO palsy, particularly noting patients with minimal tendon laxity.
- A total of 27 patients were included, and results showed significant reduction in hypertropia and lethargy with a mean SO tuck of 4.9 mm, leading to improved eye positioning post-surgery.
- The findings indicate that small SO tucks effectively corrected hypertropia and reduced incongruence in eye movement, making it a viable surgical option for SO palsy patients despite the absence of tendon laxity.
Unusual and Rare Causes of Monocular Elevation Deficit.
Strabismus
June 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Guru Nanak Eye Centre, New Delhi, India.
Introduction: To study the rare and unusual causes of monocular elevation deficit.
Methods: Five patients presenting to us with diplopia and elevation deficit were thoroughly examined and were found to have monocular elevation deficit due to rare causes.
Observations: All five were found to have different underlying etiologies - iatrogenic, sphenoid wing meningioma, cysticercosis, sarcoidosis and mid brain infarct, and were managed appropriately.
Iatrogenic affectation of ocular motility by immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol (Engl Ed)
April 2024
Servicio de Oftalmología, Hospital Universitario de Fuenlabrada, Fuenlabrada, Madrid, Spain.
Cancer therapy relies on new antitumoral drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), which produce long-lasting anti-tumor responses and lengthen survival, but cause autoimmune-type toxicity. The clinical characteristics induced by ICI are not well characterized to date and careful collection of clinical data is required to accurately define its safety profile. We conducted a literature search in the main clinical search engines to identify pharmacological ocular iatrogenic events of ICIs related to ocular motility.
