It most often occurs because of penetrating head wounds. The frontal and temporal lobes are frequently involved. Of course this type of injury could occur anywhere in the brain. Dysphagia, aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, paralysis, as well as visual and other problems can occur.
Double vision redirects here. For other uses, see Double vision (disambiguation). Diplopia, commonly known as double vision, is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object that may be displaced horizontally, vertically, diagonally (i.e., both vertically and horizontally), or rotationally in relation to each other.
Symptoms of double vision. Double vision is seeing two images of a single object. It's sometimes confused with blurred vision. If you have blurred vision, a single unclear image will appear. If you have double vision, you'll see two images at the same time. Double vision may be constant, it may come and go, or it may only occur when you're looking in a particular direction. A weakness in the muscles on either side of your eyeball can cause horizontal double vision, where you see two images side by side while looking to the left or right. It can also cause your eyes to appear crossed, or as if they are wandering.
