Abstract

A rare case of system non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma manifested with oculomotor abnormalities is presented in the paper. In the patient examined, initial symptoms were diplopia and restriction of the lateral eye movements; these symptoms appeared on the background of the intense headaches. The death resulted from the acute cardio-pulmonary failure. On postmortem study, B-cell lymphoma of multiple localizations, including the central nervous system, heart, lymph nodes, spleen and liver, was found.
