Case summary: A 59-year-old female visited the ophthalmology department for a sudden onset of horizontal diplopia for 10 days. The best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. The pupils showed normal response to light and near stimulation in both eyes. The extraocular examination showed 35 prism diopters left esotropia at primary gaze and 4 abduction limitation of the left eye. The patient suffered intermittent headaches in the left temporal area and left retrobulbar pain for 1 month. Magnetic resonance imaging with magnetic resonance angiography of the brain was performed. A focal protruding lesion of the left ICA suggested an aneurysm. The patient consulted with the neurosurgery department. The left ophthalmic segment of the ICA aneurysm was confirmed by transfemoral cerebral angiography and treated with coil placement and the patient showed gradual improvement after the procedure. Three months after the procedure there was no diplopia. The patient showed orthotropia at primary gaze without abduction limitation. Conclusions: Isolated abducens nerve palsy can be caused by the ophthalmic segment of an ICA aneurysm, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ocular motility disorders. The disorder improved with coil replacement treatment. Differential diagnosis as a cause of abducens nerve palsy is important for prompt and appropriate treatment. Neuroimaging should be considered in patients with isolated abducens nerve palsy with a non-ischemic origin.

The patient showed stable ocular alignment without diplopia. 인은아니다. 3 속목동맥자루는그위치에따라시신경이나눈돌림신경 (oculomotor nerve), 도르래신경 (trochlear nerve), 가돌림신경에영향을주어시력저하나안구운동마비에의한복시등의안과적증상을유발할수있다. 4-7 해면정맥굴은다양한크기의정맥이분할과융합된얼기 (plexus) 공간내에속목동맥, 눈돌림신경, 도르래신경, 가돌림신경, 교감신경 (sympathetic carotid plexus), 삼차신경 (trigeminal nerve) 이밀집해있는해부학적특징을가지고있다. 1 속목동맥의눈분절동맥자루가해면정맥굴을압박할때뇌신경마비가발생할가능성이있고, 해면정맥굴의구조적인특징으로인해속목동맥자루의대표적인증상인복시, 눈주위통증, 두통등이발생하는것이다. 4,8,9 가돌림신경은뇌줄기에서나와서눈확으로들어가는주행경로가길며해면정맥굴을통과할때다른뇌신경과달리속목동맥가까이위치하고뇌막가쪽에부착되어있지않다. 1,3 이러한이유로가돌림신경은목동맥해면굴샛길 (carotid cavernous fistula), 속목동맥박리, 속목동맥자루등의속목동맥혈관질환에의한영향을쉽게받을수있다. 1,3 하지만이전에국내에서속목동맥의눈분절동맥자루에의해갑자기발생한가돌림신경마비와이를코일색전술을통해좋은치료경과를얻었던보고는없었다. 또한이증례에서는속목동맥의눈분절동맥자루에의한가돌림신경마비가급성으로통증을동반하여발생한것이흥미롭다. 동맥자루는대개서서히진행하는안구운동마비를유발하고, 통증을동반할수있다. 3 본증례와같이급성으로통증을동반하는경우는이전에있던동맥자루의급격한팽창으로인한뇌신경의직접적인압박기전외에도, 동맥자루가주위혈관을압박하여발생하는이차적인허혈기전에의한발생가능성도생각할수있을것이다. 10 Nguyen et al 11 은가돌림신경마비의자연회복과재발의형태로나타난해면정맥굴속목동맥자루를보고하기도했는데, 이증례도뇌동맥자루의직접적인압박외에추가적인허혈기전에의한 뇌신경마비와회복을생각할수있다. 이증례와같이가돌림신경마비환자의치료방향을결정하기위해서는정확한원인진단이중요하며, 감별진단을위한검사에서 MRI 등의뇌영상검사를언제시행할지결정하는것이중요할것이다. 일반적으로허혈외의원인에의한마비가의심되는경우에는바로 MRI를시행하고, 허혈에의한것으로생각되면 3개월까지회복여부를확인후검사를시행하는것이제시되고있다. 1,12,13 허혈에의한가돌림신경마비를진단할임상진단기준으로는다음의항목을모두만족하는것이제시되고있다. 13 첫째, 발생나이에서는 40대나그이상의경우. 둘째, 과거력에서당뇨나고혈압, 흡연등혈관병증의위험요소를가지며, 암, 혈관염또는자가면역질환의과거력은없을것. 셋째, 갑자기발생한복시이며, 하루변이 (diurnal variation) 를동반하지않고, 자연회복이발생할때까지안정적인경과를보일것. 넷째, 지속적인눈통증, 반얼굴 (hemifacial) 통증, 반머리 (hemicranial) 통증을동반하지않을것. 다섯째, 원인불명의난청, 귀울림 (tinnitus), 가돌림신경마비동측의얼굴쇠약 (facial weakness) 이없을것. 여섯째, 다른신경학적증상을동반하지않을것. 일곱째, 50대이상에서거대세포동맥염 (giant cell arteritis) 의증상이없을것. 하지만저자들은이러한임상지침외에 MRI 시행여부는환자진료환경이나의료진의임상경험에따라서달라질수있다고생각되며, 이증례의경우가돌림신경마비외에다른신경학적증상으로동반하지않았고, 나이가고령이아니며, 과거력에서당뇨, 고혈압등의혈관병증의위험요소를가지고있지않았던경우로바로 MRI 검사를시행한것은적절하였다고생각된다. 눈분절속목동맥자루는해면정맥굴속목동맥자루와달리파열되면거미막밑출혈로진행할수있다. 14 뇌동맥자루의치료는보존적치료, 혈관내치료, 수술적치료로나누어볼수있다. 9,14,15 이중혈관내치료의경우, 여러연구들에서치료받은환자들에서이전의통증이나복시증상의 390
- 김인혜외 : 눈분절동맥자루에의한가돌림신경마비 - 호전을확인할수있다. 9,15 하지만 Stiebel-Kalish et al 8 은치료후초기통증은호전을보였지만, 복시는치료후에통계적으로의미있는호전을보이지는않았으며, 치료받은군에서신경학적또는시각적합병증이치료받지않은군보다높았다고보고하기도했다. 눈분절속목동맥자루는해부학적위치상, 혈관내치료로접근과치료가어려울수있다. 14 하지만이에대한혈관내치료와수술적치료의결과와임상증상의호전에대한전향적인연구는없어, 앞으로뇌동맥자루의형태와임상양상, 치료방법에따른결과에대한추가적인연구가필요할것으로생각된다. 결론적으로급성으로발생한수평복시환자에서속목동맥의눈분절동맥자루는가돌림신경마비의원인으로고려하여야한다. 그리고코일색전술을통해좋은결과를얻을수있음을확인하였다. 가돌림신경마비의치료방향을결정하기위해서는정확한원인감별이중요하며, 허혈이외의원인이의심되는경우는감별진단을위해적극적인뇌영상검사의시행을고려해야할것이다.
