Management of binocular diplopia in the department of ophthalmic emergencies at the Regional University Hospital of Tours

CONCLUSION: Among patients assessed in an ophthalmological emergency department setting, one in ten patients had stroke. It is essential to inform patients of the urgent nature of ophthalmological evaluation in the case of acute binocular diplopia. Urgent neurovascular management is also mandatory and should be based on the clinical description provided by the ophthalmologist. Neuroimaging should be performed as soon as possible, based on the ophthalmologic and neurological findings.PMID:37029068 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfo.2022.12.025
