Complete ophthalmoplegia as a complication of acute corticosteroid- and pancuronium-associated myopathy

L D Sitwell et al. Neurology. 1991 Jun.

Abstract

We report acute complete external ophthalmoplegia and severe myopathy in a patient treated with high doses of IV methylprednisolone and pancuronium. Awareness of this rare syndrome in a common clinical setting can lead to prompt recognition and avoid confusion with other causes of acute weakness and ophthalmoparesis.
