The ocular bobbing (OB) refers to a distinct pattern of spontaneous vertical eye movements that occurs in various diseases of the posterior fossa pathologies. We describe a case of 42-years-old female submitted to epidermoid tumor removal through a subocciptal approach, presenting an OB during the postoperative period.The clinical aspects of the ocular bobbing are reviewed and discussed. There are other presentations or etiologies for OB, therefore differential diagnosis should always be carefully considered.
Disc herniation is a common condition in the population and has a direct impact on the quality of life in patients, also causing functional limitations in the work place. Treatment protocols include conservative management and/or various surgical interventions. This paper reports on a case of symptomatic large extruded disc herniation, together with spontaneous clinical regression and total re-absorption. We show here conservative management, and a literature review of the main pathophysiological hypotheses for such an unusual evolution.
