Given the differences in the etiologic distribution of diplopia according to the patients’ age and the specialties involved in the management, the results of previous reports on the characteristics and etiology of diplopia, primarily performed in a single specialty department, should be interpreted with a possible selection bias. The etiologies of binocular diplopia differed markedly according to the patients’ age and the specialties involved in the management ( p < 0.001). The common causes of binocular diplopia included microvascular ( n = 516, 14.5%), strokes ( n = 412, 11.6%), neoplastic ( n = 304, 8.5%), myasthenia gravis ( n = 253, 7.1%), traumatic ( n = 240, 6.7%), and decompensated phoria ( n = 232, 6.5%), and comprised more than a half of the causes. ![]() Resultsĭiplopia was binocular in 3557 (94.2%) and monocular in 219 (5.8%) patients. We reviewed the medical records of 4127 patients with diplopia as the chief complaint, who had been recruited from all departments at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Republic of Korea, from 2003 to 2020. This study aimed to establish the clinical features and underlying etiologies of diplopia by recruiting patients from all departments. The etiologic distribution and clinical features of diplopia may differ according to the specialties involved in the management. ![]()
