Isolated inferior rectus palsy as the solitary manifestation of thiamine deficiency in a patient with diplopia. (p5.187)

Conclusions:Our case may be the first reported of isolated inferior rectus palsy induced by thiamine deficiency. Clinicians should include thiamine deficiency in their differential of partial, pupillary sparing 3rd nerve palsy. Thiamine levels should be included in the diagnostic evaluation of inferior rectus weakness particularly if risk factors for thiamine deficiency are present.Disclosure: Dr. Fares has nothing to disclose.
