Does superior oblique palsy cause double vision (diplopia)?

Superior oblique palsy may cause diplopia because of misalignment of the eyes (the brain percieves an image from two different directions). The double vision is frequently vertical (one image on top of the other), diagonal (vertically and horizontally separated) and less often torsional (rotated or twisted). The torsional phenomenon is noted most frequently with bilateral superior oblique palsy.
