Understanding the associated and not-associated features of CN3 palsies can help localize the disease. Because partial CN3 palsy is often associated with other life-threatening or highly-morbid disease, urgent neuroimaging is recommended in all cases of suspected partial CN3 palsy.
Introduction To Clinical Prisms
Prisms, like double vision, seem to be pretty dreaded by most people (aside from strabismus specialists and optics fans). For testing purposes and clinical applications, we thankfully don't have to know a ton of things about prisms apart from the essential applications within our clinics. Hopefully this will help you understand the principles of prisms better so that you can use them effectively in clinic as well as answer any test questions that might pop up!
