RE: Luna's eye saga continues with repeated testing & delays to the MRI scan
I was thinking the same thing - nerves can certainly be affected by pressure of various kinds. I notice from looking at the pathway of that nerve that it runs close to the sinus. I see in this study, that it is apparently possible for sinus infections to cause palsy in that region. Worth looking into.
Thanks for this. I have just spent the last hour reading lots of useful stuff.
And as soon as Sabrina wakes up I have some eye tests to do on her.
I found that "There is some evidence of a familial tendency to the condition" and am wondering now if she doesn't have something similar, though less extreme. A confirmation of oculomotor nerve abnormalities in Sabrina would point towards this being a genetic inheritance.
Sinus inflammation is a possibility but I feel like this genetic connection is the more likely cause.
