Hi, my brother (21 years) is suffering
from squint in left eye from last 1 month,
and his left hand side nerves are also not
responding properly (As per the constancy
from Neurologist). This started with
severe headache. He has perfect 6/6
eyesight. We have got the CT scan done, no
symptoms for brain tumor, but his squint
is not improving. Can anyone help me
regarding this and tell me what exactly
this situation is and how can we get him
cured. If any one have ay experience
regarding this, please share it with me,
we are in great trouble as no one is
giving us proper direction.
Your brother’s diplopia (double vision)
seems to be due to the squint
(strabismus). A strabismus is due to
bulbar muscle paralysis. The bulbar
muscles are the muscles that move the eye.
A sudden occurrence of strabismus can be
caused by a brain disorder. Muscle
weakness of one hand can be also due to
some type of localized brain disorder.
Brain tumor is one of the possibilities.
Besides a CT-scan, you can also request an
MRI of the brain to help diagnose the
situation.
