Question

Patient was shown image A along with image B. Image C was visualised. What is the likely diagnosis?

• A. Left eye suppression
• B. Right eye suppression
• C. Crossed diplopia
• D. Uncrossed diplopia

Hint:

Suppression of one eye's input is often seen in conditions like strabismus, where the brain ignores input from one eye to prevent double vision.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the likely diagnosis based on the scenario where Image A and Image B are presented and Image C is seen by the patient, we need to explore what each possibility entails.

Right Eye Suppression: In cases of suppression, one eye is not processing visual information as it should. Here, if the right eye is suppressed, this means it is unable to process or 'see' the image. Therefore, the left eye is the one which is actively viewing Image C. This indicates the brain is ignoring input from the right eye, resulting in the perception due to the left eye's input alone.

Considering that in the given situation, a specific image is visualized, it suggests that one eye's input is not participating due to suppression, hence, the right eye suppression is the correct diagnosis in this context.

By elimination of other options:

• Left Eye Suppression: If this were the case, the right eye would be seeing the image independently.
• Crossed Diplopia: This condition involves seeing two images due to misalignment where images are 'crossed'.
• Uncrossed Diplopia: Involves seeing two images without crossing, generally due to different alignment issues.

Given the context of Image C being visualized distinctly, the suppression of the right eye makes it the plausible explanation. Thus, the diagnosis is:

Right Eye Suppression
