Abducens ocular neuromyotonia as a delayed complication of oropharyngeal carcinoma treated with radiation

Abstract

Ocular neuromyotonia (ONM) is a disorder characterized by periodic involuntary extraocular muscle contraction that occurs almost exclusively in the setting of prior radiation to the sella or skull base. We present the first case of abducens neuromyotonia associated with oropharyngeal carcinoma.
