In a series of 64 subjects, 8 (12.5% ) presented diplopia, and in 6 it was also mentioned as the first sign of the disease, similarly to the results found in this study, thus alerting the ophthalmologist to the importance of knowing that diplopia can be a precursor to the disease 11 .…”

Na ELA, os núcleos dos pares III, IV e VI costumam ser histopatologicamente normais (34) , mas em poucos casos pode existir algum grau de oftalmoplegia aparentemente associada ao uso de respirador por longo tempo (37)(38) .…”
