[Superior oblique myokymia secondary to neurovascular compression].
In a patient with superior oblique myokymia, a contact is visualised between the right trochlear nerve and a vascular structure by high resolution thin slices magnetic resonance images coupled to angio-MR. A similar contact is not visualised on the left side. This suggests that the neuro-vascular contact is the cause of this superior oblique myokymia and offers the possibility of neuro-surgical decompression if necessary.
