Introduction: Oculomotor nerve palsy is an pathological condition caused by microvascular injury, head injury, compression due to neoplasm or aneurysm, and also oculomotor nerve palsy can be caused by autoimmune prosses. Peripheral neuropathy is one of the clinical manifestations in patient with SLE, Oculomotor nerve palsy is one type of cranial neuropathy seen with SLE patient. Patient with SLE have a higher risk of serebrovascular event than general population. Case Illustration: Female 34 years old complained drop of the eyelid on the left eye and double vision when see with both eyes since 1 mounth before examination. Patient with history of headace and diagnosed with SLE since 2006 with regular treatment. From the examination, pupil anisocor, on the right eye pupil was 3 mm in diameter with positif direct and indirect reflex. On the left eye pupil was 6 mm with negative direct and indirect reflex. Extraocular movement on the left eye was limited except abduction movement. CT-Scan examination shows bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage and from CT-Angiography shows dilatation of the left siphon carotid artery. Patient was diagnosed with oculomotor nerve palsy involving pupil caused by aneurysm with SAH and SLE. Discussion: Oculomotor nerve palsy mostly caused by aneurysm compression in posterior communicating artery (PCoA) and internal carotid artery (ICA). Cerebrovascular imaging, MRA and CTAngiography, can showing the aneurysm and its location. Risk of cerebrovascular event increased in patient with SLE than general population. Management patient with oculomotor nerve palsy with SLE nowadays is with pulse dose corticosteroid. Conclusion: SLE with oculomotor nerve palsy will increase risk of cerebrovascular event.

Background: Near Point of Convergence (NPC) is a nearest point where the image still properly fused and the patient do not experience double vision. However, there is still no study that evaluate the normative value of NPC in Indonesia. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate NPC break and recovery amongst school aged children with refractive error in Badung Regency, Bali.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to September 2018. Data were collected prospectively from the examinations of school aged children in four elementary schools. Categorical data were described in frequency and percentage. The others were described in median. Kruskal Wallis test was used to statistically analyzed the data.Results: A total of 149 children were included in this study, which consisted of 56.4% women and 43.6% men. Most of the students were at 7years old age group (25.5%), while only minority who in the 12-years old age group (2%). Median NPC Break is 3,5 cm and 3,70 cm in male and female, respectively (p = 0,77). The median NPC break and recovery was greater in the 9 to 12 years old group compared to the other groups (p = 0.007 and p =0.00, respectively). Finally, hypermetropia had a greater NPC break and recovery than another groups (p = 0.05). Conclusion: There were significant differences between NPC break and recovery value according to the age group and underlying refractive error.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
