Nasal cause of sixth cranial nerve palsy.
Anatomically the cavernous sinus is closely related to the sphenoid sinus and the nasopharynx. Sphenoid sinusitis, as demonstrated in the case can affect the nerves which are contained within it. Apart from the sinus, a direct extension from a nasopharyngeal lesion is commonly encountered to cause diplopia, owing to the sixth nerve involvement. The provisional diagnosis should be a nasopharynge...
متن کاملCapecitabine and sixth cranial nerve palsy.
Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapeutic agent converted to 5 fluorouracil (5-FU). Neurotoxicity associated with the medication encompasses both central and peripheral nervous systems. We describe a 60 year old man with colonic carcinoma who developed diplopia due to a sixth nerve palsy following the use of capecitabine which is an orally administered prodrug of 5-FU. An MRI of brain did not re...

CLINICAL CASE A 58 year-old man with a known diagnosis of a large cell lung carcinoma, developed a progressive diplopia. His examination revealed a double oculomotor nerve palsy with dilated and poorly reactive pupils.

CNS involvement is unusual and particularly the occurence of leptomeningeal metastasis is extremely rare, with few cases described in the literature.1 The reported incidence at autopsy vary from 0.6 to 4.4 percent.2 We report a 65 year old male who presented with multiple cranial nerve palsies due to leptomenin...
متن کاملSixth Cranial Nerve Palsy Caused by Gastric Adenocarcinoma Metastasis to the Clivus
Tumors of the clivus and metastases to the clivus are very rare. Metastasis involving the clivus has previously been described in only two case reports. In skull metastasis, the breast and prostate are the most common primary foci, while metastasis from gastric carcinoma is extremely rare. A review of the English literature revealed only one published case of clivus metastases from gastric aden...
