When occurring in patients aged 50 or older, the most common cause is microvascular ischemia, but serious etiologies such as aneurysm, malignancy, and giant cell arteritis should always be considered.

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 کاملIsolated neurosarcoidosis presenting with multiple cranial nerve palsies
