| | Ophthalmoplegia aHealthyAdvantage |
 | | Ophthalmoplegia is a paralysis or weakness of one or more of the muscles that control eye movement. | | | Progressive external ophthalmoplegia itself is not a life-threatening condition. | | | It may be myopathic, meaning that the muscles controlling eye movement are directly involved, or neurogenic, meaning that the nerve pathways controlling eye muscles are affected. |

| | Although granulomatous inflammation of the cavernous sinus may produce a painful ophthalmoplegia, it should be clear that other lesions that involve the structures within the superior orbital fissure or cavernous sinus may also produce painful ophthalmoplegia that is often responsive to systemic corticosteroid therapy. | | | According to these investigators, if pain and ophthalmoplegia subside within 24---48 hours, a diagnosis of inflammatory painful ophthalmoplegia is assured. | | | Smith and Taxdall (1966) suggested the use of prednisone (60---80 mg per day) as a preliminary diagnostic (as well as therapeutic) test, before subjecting the patient with painful ophthalmoplegia to the expense and discomfort of neuroradiologic studies. |

| | In 1956, Charles Miller Fisher, a Canadian whose specialisation was stroke, described three patients with acute external ophthalmoplegia (eye paralysis), sluggish pupil reflexes, ataxia (lack of balance) and areflexia (absent tendon reflexes). | | | Research in recent years has concentrated in identifying the antibodies that are thought to be responsible for GBS etc. It has been confirmed clinically that MFS, GBS with ophthalmoplegia, BBE, and another condition called acute ophthalmoparesis* are closely related, forming a continuous range. | | | Because some patients with GBS had ophthalmoplegia and there were other similarities, Dr Fisher concluded that these patients had suffered a disorder akin to GBS. |
