Third, Fourth, and Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsies in Pituitary Apoplexy.
BACKGROUND Pituitary apoplexy (PA) often presents with acute headache and neuro-ophthalmic manifestations, including ocular motility dysfunction (OMD) from cranial nerve palsies (CNPs). Our goal was to describe the epidemiology and outcomes of OMD in a large, single-center series of patients with PA. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients with PA seen in our pituita...
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...
متن کاملNasal 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 کاملDiplopia, Third Nerve Palsies, and Sixth Nerve Palsies
Ocular motor defi cits are common clinical manifestations of neurological emergencies, with third (oculomotor) and sixth (abducens) paresis among the most frequent. This chapter focuses on recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of these cranial neuropathies in true neurological emergencies that carry a high risk of major morbidity or mortality if left undiagnosed. Emergencies discussed include a...
متن کاملInfluence of the Third Cranial Nerve
THE adrenergic sympathetic system has been shown to exert a considerable effect on the intra-ocular pressure (Greaves and Perkins, 1952). We know, however, that cholinergic drugs are often effective in lowering the intraocular pressure in glaucoma so that it is possible that the parasympathetic system may also play a part in the control of the tension of the eye. Since the third cranial nerve c...
