Intraneural hemorrhage in traumatic oculomotor nerve palsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isolated traumatic oculomotor nerve palsy without internal ophthalmoplegia is a rare condition after closed head trauma. The nerve strain leads to intraneural edema with nerve swelling on T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images and traumatic disruption of the blood peripheral nerve barrier with contrast enhancement on T1-weighted MR images. In this patient, susceptibility-weighted MR imaging allowed the direct visualization of the intraneural hemorrhage after suspected traumatic diffuse neuronal axonal injury.

We present a case of oculomotor palsy due to hypertensive hemorrhage in the caudate nucleus, with intraventricular extension. To our knowledge, this is the only instance of this complication occurring due to hypertensive hemorrhage. Our patient initially developed headache at the time of her hemorrhage; 8 days later, she developed complete third nerve palsy, which showed improvement at follow-u...
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...

Post-traumatic pituitary apoplexy is uncommon, most of which present with a sudden onset of severe headache and visual impairments associated with a dumbbell-shaped pituitary tumor. We experienced an unusual case of post-traumatic pituitary apoplexy with atypical clinical features. A 66-year-old man presented with mild cerebral contusion and an incidentally diagnosed intrasellar tumor after a f...

A patient with traumatic brain injury showed incomplete oculomotor nerve palsy in the subarachnoid space. A 12-year-old girl was hospitalized after a head injury. Neuro-ophthalmic examination showed that the left eye had a ptosis and pupillary involvement. An MRI indicated an intracranial hematoma at the basilar portion of the left temple. The ptosis and pupillary involvement improved after eli...

We report a patient with unilateral midbrain hemorrhage which caused ipsilateral complete oculomotor nerve palsy with pupillary involvement, contralateral upgaze paresis, contralateral limb ataxia and Parinaud’s syndrome. CT scan and MRI brain demonstrated a hemorrhage in the left paramedian midbrain probably involving the oculomotor fascicles; extension of the hemorrhage to the most rostral mi...
