CASO CLÍNICO: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 63 años con paresia troclear unilateral derecha que comenzó con diplopía vertical tras someterse a una angiografía coronaria programada con intervención percutánea coronaria por vía radial. Se resolvió espontáneamente en 2 meses. DISCUSIÓN: La oftalmoplejía tras la realización de angioplastia percutánea coronaria es una situación rara. Solamente se han descrito oftalmoplejías internucleares y paresias de los pares craneales III y VI tras angioplastias percutáneas, siendo este el primer caso de oftalmoplejía aislada del IV par craneal unilateral descrito tras dicho procedimiento
CASE REPORT: A case is presented of a 63-year-old man who suffered a unilateral isolated trochlear nerve palsy with vertical diplopia following an elective radial coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention, which resolved spontaneously within 2 months. DISCUSSION: Ophthalmoplegia following coronary percutaneous angioplasty is rare. Only internuclear ophthalmoplegia, III and VI cranial nerve palsy have been previously reported following percutaneous angioplasty. This is the first reported case of unilateral isolated trochlear nerve ophthalmoplegia following this procedure
