Overview
Ophthalmoparesis can result from disorders involving either the eye or the nervous system. Disorders of the eye include mechanical restrictions of eye movement as seen in Graves disease and abnormalities in the orbital muscle as seen in progressive external ophthalmoplegia. Neurological causes of ophthalmoparesis include neuromuscular junction disorders as in myasthenia gravis, involvement of relevant cranial nerves or their brainstem nuclei of these nerves and abnormalities in the white matter tracts. Other causes of ophthamoparesis are intoxication with certain substances such as phenytoin as well as thiamine deficiency as part of the syndrome called Wernicke encephalopathy.
