  • Title: Superior orbital fissure syndrome in a latent type 2 diabetic patient.
    Author: Cheng AC, Sinha AK, Kevau IH.
    Journal: P N G Med J; 1999; 42(1-2):10-2. PubMed ID: 11061002.
    Abstract:
    Although isolated cranial nerve palsies are common in diabetic patients, multiple, simultaneous cranial neuropathies are rare. We describe the second case of a complete superior orbital fissure syndrome including the optic nerve in a middle-aged Papuan man with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus. The differential diagnosis included septic cavernous sinus thrombosis and Tolosa Hunt syndrome, and management was initially directed at excluding these serious, treatable conditions.
