Retinopathy in Patients with Diabetic Ophthalmoplegia

Abstract: Purpose: To compare patients with palsy of the 3rd, 4th or 6th cranial nerve due to diabetes mellitus (DM) with controls matched for age, sex and disease duration in terms of the presence and severity of diabetic retinopathy. Patients and Method: Thirty-three diabetic patients with cranial nerve palsies and 33 age- and sex-matched controls with the same duration of disease were included in this case-control study. Groups were evaluated in terms of the type of DM, presence and level of diabetic retinopathy and … Show more

“…This result is in accordance with previous reports; the mean reported age of diabetic ophthalmoplegias ranges from 50.2 to 68 years [6,17-19], which is more than that of benign THS (48.6 years) and adult OM (36.4 years) [8,9]. Diabetic neuropathy is predominantly a disease of older adults [20], whereas OM predominantly affects children and younger adults [7,8], and THS may present at any age [1,9].…”

“…Patients with OM recovered faster than patients with THS and ocular diabetic neuropathy, consistent with previously reported results [7,10,18,19,25,26]. The average recovery time of OM is approximately 3 weeks, whereas that of THS is approximately 2 months and ocular diabetic neuropathy is 3–4 months [7,9,10,18,19].…”

“…A Similar result was reported in a study by Acaroglu et al ., in which presence and level of diabetic retinopathy was found to be significantly lower in diabetics with cranial nerve palsy than in the age, sex, and disease-duration-matched controls. [13] The relatively milder form of diabetic retinopathy could be accounted for by the shorter duration of diabetes in the majority of subjects (Mean 7.27 years).…”
