Abstract Background Dengue fever is an New Records of the Andean Cat (Leopardus jacobita) in the Central Andes of Chile: Filling Gaps in the Distribution Range through Private-Social Partnerships endemic illness in the tropics with early and post infectious complications affecting multiple systems.Though neurological sequelae including mononeuropathy, encephalopathy, transverse myelitis, polyradiculopathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome , optic neuropathy and oculomotor neuropathy have been reported in medical literature, the abducens nerve despite its notoriety in cranial neuropathies in a multitude of condition due to its long intracranial course had not been to date reported to manifest with lateral rectus paralysis following dengue.Case presentation A previously well 29 year old male with serologically ANALISIS MODAL KERJA DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN RASIO AKTIVITAS PADA PT. SEMEN TIGA RODA PERSERO TBK PERIODE 2002-2013 (Studi Kasus pada Bursa Efek Indonesia Cabang Bandung) confirmed dengue hemorrhagic fever developed symptomatic right lateral rectus palsy during the critical phase of the illness, which persisted into convalescence and post convalescence with proven deficit on Hess screen.
Alternate etiologies were excluded by imaging, serology and electrophysiology.Conclusions The authors detail the first reported case of abducens nerve palsy complicating dengue fever in a previously healthy male from Sri Lanka.In a tropical country with endemic dengue infections, dengue related abducens neuropathy may be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of acquired lateral rectus palsy after dengue fever.
