Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is an eye movement disorder characterized by adduction impairment due to a lesion involving the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF).

Prognosis of Ischemic Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia. 78.8% demonstrated resolution of diplopia in primary position with an average time to resolution of 2.25 months. 78.8% demonstrated resolution of diplopia in primary position with an average time to resolution of 2.25 months. The presence of associated neurologic symptoms (vertigo, ataxia, dysarthria, facial palsy, pyramidal tract signs) correlated with a worse prognosis for resolution of diplopia.
