【摘要】
复视之表现涵盖各种严重眼科疾病与神经系统重症的可能,需要临床医师快速鉴别诊断并应有足够的认识与警觉。本文整理中西医之文献,以厘清复视的西医鉴别诊断思路与中医辨证处方用药原则,并以二例原因不同之复视病例作佐证。第一个病例为有肝癌病史之67 岁男性突发复视及头晕,经转诊急诊後,证实其复视为严重中枢神经疾病之初期表现,提示临床应审慎诊察不可轻忽;第二个病例为头痛主诉之48 岁男性,最终诊断为疑似第六对脑神经之病毒感染,其诊治过程呈现出临床应有之鉴别诊断思考及如何安排检验与检查来协助诊断,该病例在高剂量类固醇治疗无效後,以水煎剂麻黄汤之加减使症状迅速获得改善。本文透过文献整理与病案分析,提供中医师於临床上做初步诊断、适当转介及正确治疗之依据。

【Summary】
Diplopia is a possible clinical presentation of some severe ophthalmologic or neurologic diseases. Clinicians should have enough knowledge and awareness to make differential diagnosis as soon as possible when approaching a patient with diplopia. We organized the information about diplopia from Chinese and Western medicine literature to clarify the thinking process of making differential diagnosis and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s (TCM) pattern identification and treatment. We used two different cases with diplopia to present the differential diagnosis and treatment processes by pattern identification. The first case was a 67-year old male with hepatocellular carcinoma who had acute diplopia with dizziness. The fact that the final diagnosis was ischemic stroke in this case after transferred to Emergency Room immediately suggests that diplopia may be a manifestation of emergency neurology. The second case was a 48-year old male with headache and exacerbate diplopia. We demonstrated here a complete diagnostic process for diplopia evaluation in this case. Virus infection of cranial
nerve VI was suspected. High-dose corticosteroid was used, but in vain, then modified Ma-Huang-Tang traditional decoction was applied to cure diplopia due to precise pattern identification. By organizing literature information and clinical case analysis, we hope this article can help clinicians with diagnosis, referral and treatment.
