Rochon-Duvigneaud's syndrome
Also known as:
Déjean's syndrome
Rochon-Duvigneaud's sensorimotor ophthalmoplegia
Associated persons:
M. C. Déjean
André Rochon-Duvigneaud
Description:
Rochon-Duvignaud's and Déjean's syndromes are neurological disorders belonging to a group with very similar clinical characteristics. Another syndrome in this group is Rollet's orbital apex syndrome. Clinical manifestations vary with the site and nature of the lesion. This sphenoidal syndrome typically manifests with local pain, proptosis, exophthalmos, diplopia, and anaesthesia in the areas innervated by the trigeminal nerve, occurring with a lesion in the floor of the orbit. It involves the third, fourth, the ophthalmic division of the fifth, and the sixth cranial nerves, all of which pass through the superior orbital fissure.
The entity was first described in 1896 by Rochon-Duvigneaud who applied the term "sphenoidal fissure syndrome."
