| Abstract | An 85-year old woman with hypertension, hyperlipidaemia attended a GOPC in April 2021 complained of a 1-week history of diplopia worsened when looking in the right downward direction. There had been no head nor eyes injury. Physical exam showed diplopia maximal when looking in the right downward direction and relieved when tilting the head towards the right. There was no other focal neurological sign. The patient was suspected to have left 4th cranial nerve palsy and was referred to the hospital for workup. Family physicians should be alerted to the possibility of 4th cranial nerve palsy when patients complain of diplopia, particularly when looking downwards. |
