ISOLATED OCULOMOTOR NERVE PALSY

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...

Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy due to common carotid artery occlusion.

To cite: Man BK, FU YP. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2013-201338 DESCRIPTION Oculomotor nerve palsy as the only manifestation of ipsilateral common carotid artery occlusion is rare. A 31-year-old man had history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with radiation therapy performed when he was at the age of 14. He developed diplopia during work. He denie...

Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy due to head injury.

Traumatic isolated oculomotor nerve palsy with negative imaging studies is extremely rare. We reported such a case who after head injury had normal brain computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and angiography. The absence of other neurological signs and normal brain MRI indicated the lesion was most likely within the subarachnoid space, as the other important structures...
