نویسندگان
چکیده
isolated third nerve palsy develops in numerous intracranial pathologies such as closed head trauma, tumor, and aneurysm. this report describes a 61 years old female with an abrasion on the left forehead and ptosis of the left eye. initial computed tomography did not reveal any causative cerebral and vascular lesions or orbital and cranial fractures. high-resolution and multi-axial enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (mri) can be helpful in diagnosis and monitoring of patients with this rare phenomenon.

Isolated third cranial nerve palsies in head trauma patients can be the result of direct or indirect damage to the oculomotor nerve. They are usually associated with severe head trauma. We reported a case of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy associated with minor head injury. No initial loss of consciousness was recalled. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic re...
متن کاملIsolated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy Following Minor Head Trauma : Case Illustration and Literature Review
Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) attributable to mild closed head trauma is a distinct rarity. Its diagnosis places high demands on the radiologist and the clinician. The authors describe this condition in a 36-year-old woman who slipped while walking and struck her face. Initial computed tomography did not reveal any causative cerebral and vascular lesions or orbital and cranial fractures...
متن کاملIsolated 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...
متن کاملA 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...
