Binocular diplopia is caused by the misalignment of the visual axes, with images falling on the fovea of the fixating eye and on the extra-foveal retina of the non-fixating eye, as a consequence of both neurological (i.e., oculomotor nerve palsies, ocular myopathies, neuromuscular junction disorders) and ophthalmic disorders (i.e., decompensation of a pre-existing strabismus). In contrast, monocular diplopia is generally explained by intraocular pathology (i.e., refractive errors, ocular media abnormalities, dry eyes), causing the image of a single object to fall, at the same time, on the fovea and on the extra-foveal retina of the same eye. Methods: We report the case of a 22-year-old woman presenting with acute-onset monocular diplopia. Results: The diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) was based on the presence of papilloedema and elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. Monocular diplopia resolved after CSF subtraction. Conclusions: We describe a case of monocular diplopia as a presenting symptom of IIH, and discuss diagnostic issues of this possibly underestimated symptom in neurology clinical practice. Careful ophthalmic and neuro-ophthalmic examination can identify clinical features of diplopia, and drive diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12890\/2021_002509","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,25]],"date-time":"2021-05-25T10:11:37Z","timestamp":1621937497000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Monocular Diplopia in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.12890","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Gianluigi R","family":"Palmieri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, Reproductive Science and Odontostomatology, Federico II University, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mattia","family":"Sansone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, Reproductive Science and Odontostomatology, Federico II University, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"De Simone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, Reproductive Science and Odontostomatology, Federico II University, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcello","family":"Moccia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, Reproductive Science and Odontostomatology, Federico II University, Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10397","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.12890\/2021_002509_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"<li>Danchaivijitr C, Kennard C.
