Résumé

Acquired supranuclear ocular motor paresis (ASOMP) is a rare complication following cardiac surgery, characterized by limited voluntary eye motility. The exact cause and development of ASOMP after cardiac surgery remain unclear. We report a case of ASOMP with paracentral bitemporal hemianopsia with optic atrophy after cardiac surgery, which, to our knowledge, is novel. The patient demonstrated bilateral ophthalmoplegia, with gradual improvement in voluntary smooth pursuit but persistent impairment in saccadic eye movements. Interestingly, the patient showed improved proprioceptive-driven pursuit of their own hand compared to pursuit or saccades following an examiner's hand. The visual field examination revealed a bilateral paracentral temporal hemianopic field defect. The underlying mechanisms of ASOMP and potential chiasmal ischemia in this case remain unknown. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of ASOMP following cardiac surgery, with potential slow improvement over time.
