Oculomotor nerve palsy secondary to aberrant posterior cerebral artery

Complete Oculomotor Nerve Palsy Caused by Direct Compression of the Posterior Cerebral Artery.

Oculomotor nerve palsy frequently occurs because of external compression by an internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm and diabetes mellitus. In addition, pontine infarction, cavernous sinus tumors, demyelinating disease, and autoimmune disorder are well-known causes of oculomotor nerve palsy. However, cases of complete oculomotor nerve palsy by neurovascular conflicts presente...

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...

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...

Oculomotor nerve palsy.

Analysis of morphologic and hemodynamic parameters for unruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysms with oculomotor nerve palsy.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Posterior communicating artery aneurysms with oculomotor nerve palsy may imply sudden enlargement of the aneurysm sac and have a high risk of rupture. Our aim was to identify the morphologic and hemodynamic parameters in this special period of aneurysm progression and to assess related rupture risk indices. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the morphologic and hemodynam...
