Diplopia occurs when two images are subjectively seen of a single object. It has a variety of causes, which range in severity from benign to sight or life threatening if left untreated. ⋯ Efficient and effective diagnosis is important, as some pathologies require immediate treatment to save the eyesight and/or life of the patient. This article will concentrate solely on binocular diplopia.

Orofacial granulomatosis is a chronic relapsing-remitting inflammatory condition that shares a similar phenotypic presentation to some other granulomatous diseases, particularly Crohn's disease. However, subtle clinical and pathological differences justify it as a separate disease entity. Previous studies have assessed the effectiveness of interventions used in the management of orofacial granulomatosis. ⋯ A combination of interventions is often required to effectively manage each patient. There is convincing evidence that diet plays a role in disease severity. In patients where dietary manipulation alone is unsuccessful, topical, intralesional and/or systemic treatment may be considered to manage the condition.
