[Ocular neuromyotonia].
METHODS
We describe a 58-year-old man, without history of radiation therapy, who presented with transient episodic diplopia following sustained lateral gaze lasting around 30-50 seconds. He developed a large angle exotropia of the left eye that gradually returned to normal after 50 seconds. Between episodes he was asymptomatic. Partial resolution of his symptoms was obtained after treatment with carbamazepine.


CONCLUSIONS
Neuromyotonia must be considered when evaluating a patient with intermittent diplopia.
