Isolated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy Caused by Onodi Cell Sinusitis

Traumatic Oculomotor Nerve Palsy

Oculomotor nerve palsy generally presents with mydriasis, blepharoptosis, and impairment of extraocular muscle movement. The incidence of primary traumatic oculomotor nerve palsy in craniocerebral trauma is approximately 1.2% [1]. The causes of oculomotor nerve palsy are congenital, traumatic, vascular, migrainous, and parainfectious. Especially in children, it is often caused by congenital fac...

A Rare Presentation of Isolated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy due to Multiple Sclerosis in a Child

     Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating, neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) of unknown etiology. Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy is found rarely in children with MS. We present a case of MS in 10-year-old boy, who had bilateral ptosis associated with medial gaze restriction. The extraocular muscle examination demonstrated bilateral adduction pa...

Case presentation: We describe a 40-year old woman presenting with severe headache, diplopia, and limited right-eye movement. Further studies proposed isolated sphenoidal sinusitis, for which she underwent endoscopic...
