Title: A new association of olfactory hypoplasia and limited elevation
Abstract: Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDDs) as a group of neurodevelopmental diseases could present with various combinations of the affected cranial nerves. Olfactory aplasia or hypoplasia has been reported with other cranial nerves affected. Herein, we present an unreported association of olfactory aplasia and limited elevation in two patients who did not have other ocular motor nerve aplasia or hypoplasia on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. We present two patients—an 11-month-old boy and a 9-year-old boy who showed limited elevation and were found to have olfactory aplasia. In conclusion, aplasia of the olfactory bulb may be associated with strabismus with some degree of ophthalmoplegia, thus should be carefully examined with various clinical manifestations.
