THIRD NERVE REGENERATION A CLINICAL EVALUATION

Aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve.

BACKGROUND Aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve is most commonly due to its damage by trauma. CASE A ten-month old child presented with the history of a fall from a four-storey building. She developed traumatic third nerve palsy and eventually the clinical features of aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve. The adduction of the eye improved over time. She was advised for...

Pupillary sign of aberrant regeneration of the third nerve.

A 55-year-old woman presented with a third nerve palsy and impaired abduction of her right eye. MRI showed a lesion at the orbital apex extending into the cavernous sinus. A biopsy showed invasive Aspergillus fumigatus and she was treated with antifungals with only partial improvement. Twelve years later, she had complete ptosis, partially restricted abduction, adduction, and depression of the ...

Clinical strategies to enhance nerve regeneration

Nanotechnology for peripheral nerve regeneration

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) can lead to lifetime loss of function and disfigurement. Different methods such as conventional allograft procedures and using of biological tubes have problems for damaged peripheral nerves reconstruction. Designed scaffolds with natural and synthetic materials are now widely used in the reconstruction of damaged tissues. Utilization of absorbable and non-absorb...
