Acquired binocular diplopia commonly results from dysfunction of the third, fourth or sixth cranial nerve. Some cases need an urgent work‐up and it is mandatory to identify them early. This presentation will summarize the clinical findings and common causes of III, IV and VI cranial nerve palsy, and highlight the necessary investigations. At the end of the session, participants should be able to recognize, provide a differential diagnosis and propose appropriate investigations for III, IV, and VI cranial nerve palsy.
