[Stress-related vertical double vision and ptosis].
A 43-year-old patient presented to our department because her left eyelid had exhibited drooping to varying extents for 2-3 months. Furthermore, in extreme positions or after rapid eye movement, she perceived diplopic images and was sensitive to light. The diagnosis of sphenoid meningioma was reached. Subsequently two rounds of radiopeptide therapy with (90)Y-DOTATOC (somatostatin analog) were administered within 3 months. This treatment approach led to a reduction of tumor volume in our patient as well as clinical improvement followed by stabilization.
