Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is a rare disorder characterized by episodic microtremor of the eyeball. in patients with SOM, intermittent contraction of the superior oblique muscle causes irregular and rotatory eye movement, causing oscillopsia and diplopia. Microvascular decompression (MVD) of the trochlear nerve is potentially a definitive treatment method for SOM; however, owing to its rarity, this disorder is not well-known to neurosurgeons, and thus the optimal surgical approach has not yet been determined.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A 77-year-old woman with left SOM had experienced oscillopsia for 2 years. MVD was performed via a left lateral superior cerebellar approach with the patient in the park-bench position. Her symptom resolved immediately after the surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: We believe that MVD via a left lateral superior cerebellar approach can be safely performed to SOM in elderly patients like our patient. Therefore, MVD should be considered as the definitive treatment method for more patients with SOM.
