Abstract

Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is an uncommon disorder characterized by episodic monocular oscillopsia. Though the mechanism of SOM is not fully established, recent reports focus on the role of vascular compression. Several medications have been reported to be of benefit but a standard protocol for SOM has not been established. This case report documents a complete symptom relief in SOM with a documented vascular compression using gabapentin.
