stroke symptoms double vision

He had no previous symptoms of a stroke. The only side effect was double vision. It has been almost two weeks and he still sees double. Are there any other options available besides a patch and prism glasses? Is there a surgery procedure available, or is he just suppose to go on with his life with a patch on his eye, like the nurosurgeon told us?

I had what they call a stroke - it was caused by burst aneurisms in my brain. It took 9 surgeries and finally a shunt in my head. That was September. What I want to know is, is it 'normal' to feel pressure and sometimes a 'giddy' feeling? Apparently my brain will take at least a year to 'heal'. I am doing really well, but my head feels this way, and my neck where the shunt tube goes swells..

His speach really started getting worse and his also started complaining about double vision. The double vision only occured when he was laying on his back. When he raised his head the double vision would go away. At that time I asked the nurse to call the neurologist. The nuerologist orderd another MRI. The second MRI came back clean again showing no signs of a stroke. The neurologist stated that he had never seen anything like this and is at a loss.

Is there a surgery for victims after a stroke that have double victims? Or what are there options beyond wearing a patch over there eyes?

I have been in vision therapy for a few months for the post-stroke onset of convergence, double vision, pupillary inequality (my right pupil was not restricting the same as my left), and not blinking normally. I still have a little bit of drooping on the right side of my mouth. I also still have new-to-me weird symptoms post-event like sweating hands (palms) and feet and excessive ear wax production. It has been really hard for me to find a neurologist that will dig deeper.

I was working in the yard today, sweating and suddening I had double vision. It is now hours later, I have a minor headache and still have double vision. If I cover one eye, it appears each eye by itself is ok, but together I'm getting double vision. Can anyone help? I'm a 58 year old male.

Recently that has been somewhat resolved with still the occasional numbness, but now he says he is having double vision only if he has both eyes open, if he closes one eye (either one doesn't matter) he can see fine. I keep urging him to go to the doctor but i think he is scared. i want to research this so i can at least tell him what to expect...

Since roughly my last trimester before my son's birth in November 2006 (yes, you read right) I've had vertical double vision/ghosting in both eyes...At first it was intermittent, and I went to an optometrist this time last year & got new glasses w/ prisms for the diplopia...Since the summer it's gotten much worse & in the fall it became more prevalent--since then it's been all the time & most noticeable w/ objects at a distance...

I have been seeign double vision now for 3 weeks straight. I have seen 3 doctors, spent 11 hours in the ER, done 2 estensive MRI's and 2 sets of blood work. I still see double, clear and distinct double vision, I do not have MS or a legion in the brain, I have spoken and been seen by a neurologist and he is pretty sure I have a swollen optic nerve. I have called for a follow up, and have yet to hear back from him.

I have had several annoying physical symptoms such as vertigo, nausea, double vision, and the worst ongoing migraines that plague me on a daily basis but the one that gets to me is that I have not shed a tear since the stroke. I'm not sure if the stroke is the cause of me not crying or if it is a psychological issue related to a personal crisis that I have been dealing with since a year earlier.

He has consulted an ophthalmologist and has been advised cataract surgery with results uncertain, i.e. nothing can be said about occurrence or otherwise of double vision.

i am 38 years old male, off recently, im experiencing, that at times, i kinda feel blackened out on sides of my eyes, with double and blurred vision, with pain sensations in my forehead and throat, wonder what is that?

It had been hours since I had a migraine and suddenly my vision was doubled, one image on top of the other. My right eye drooped for 2-3 days like a stroke. I was given a MRI and was diagnoised as a migraine. I have had migraines for years and normally have the aura but never like this....has anyone else had such a migraine?

Basilar migraine is characterized by aura symptoms like numbness on one side of the body, visual symptoms which affect the field of vision, double vision, vertigo and impaired hearing. Normal migraine medications like Imitrex do not work in basilar migraines. It is important to differentiate these type of migraines from brain tumors, stroke and seizure disorder. Medications kike Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and Topamax are used to control these type of migraines.

During my most recent relapse, which lead to my diagnosis, I had fairly serious muscle weakness in my legs. I also had double vision. I also had pretty serious ataxia (couldn't walk in a straight line). Lastly, I had serious fatigue problems. While these all added up to a less than pleasant quality of life, they were not disabling. I never missed a day of work etc.

For 4 years I've been experiencing random bouts of pain and confusion. Last January I started having numbness and pain in my thighs upper arms. This January the numbness was so extreme I was in shorts and t-shirts in 40 degree weather and couldn't feel the cold. The pain was so bad my son couldn't tap on me and clothes were even painful. I started having stroke like symptoms during this time. I had a mirena and it had to be removed after 4 years.

m asking how common is it and some stroke like symptoms I had for over a month, slurred speech, right leg weakness foot drop, gait disorder,hyperactive reflexs, vertigo vomiting, double vision fainting,and lack of memory of for 12 hours. How long a average attack lasts? I give a detailed history that should be helpful. It wasn't a good experience. I also wanted to know once you start having these attacks, how often are they likely to reoccur?
