Conditions
Brief summary
This study aimed to train and validate deep learning systems (DLS) to differentiate between microvascular ischemic ocular motor nerve palsy (v-OMNP) and inflammatory ocular motor nerve palsy (i-OMNP). The method involves using clearly diagnosed v-OMNP and i-OMNP patients from the Department of Neurology database at Beijing Tongren Hospital for further DLS validation, aiding in the differential diagnosis of the aforementioned diseases.

The diagnosis of disease is the outcome of the study. The inclusion criteria and
Exclusion criteria
were as follows: 1. Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with acute bilateral diplopia within 1 week of onset at admission. 1\. Ischemic Group: 1. Sudden onset of unilateral CN III, CN IV, or CN VI palsy. 2. Isolated CN III (without pupil involvement), CN IV, or CN VI palsy. 3. Presence of vascular risk factors (VRFs). 4. Significant symptom recovery no earlier than 2 months after onset, with complete (or nearly complete) recovery within 3-6 months. 2\. Inflammatory Group: 1. Unilateral painful CN III, CN IV, and/or CN VI palsy. 2. Symptoms (including pain or diplopia signs) significantly improved within 72 hours after treatment with corticosteroids. 3. MRI of the cavernous sinus showing inflammation, i.e., abnormal widening/enhancement of the affected cavernous sinus with or without granulomatous changes/inflammatory manifestations of adjacent tissues. 2.

| The diagnosis of acute bilateral diplopia, microvascular ischemic ocular motor nerve palsy or inflammatory ocular motor nerve palsy. | 6 months | This study aimed to train and validated deep learning systems to differentiate between v-OMNP and i-OMNP. Clinical information, including sex, age at onset, clinical manifestations, inflammatory factors (including C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, autoimmune antibody in the cerebrospinal fluid), cavernous sinus MRIs, and prognosis, was obtained from hospitalization and follow-up records. The following information was recorded: (1) intracavernous sinus: abnormal side, thickness of cavernous sinus, thickening enhancement, enlargement and enhancement of CN III, CN IV and CN VI, and narrowing of intracavernous internal carotid artery and (2) extracavernous sinus: enhancing adjacent lesions, lacrimal prolapsus, orbital fascial lipocele, eyeball protrusion, thickened eyelids, and dilatation of superior orbital veins. |
