Ocular palsies with nasal sinusitis.

چکیده
The diagnosis of nasal sinusitis as a cause of ocular palsy has recently fallen into disfavour, particularly since the importance of congenital aneurysm as a cause of third nerve palsy has been recognized. It is the purpose of this communication to record a series of fully investigated cases of ocular palsy observed over some years, in which the palsies were associated with the presence of a chronic infection of the nasal sinuses. We made a short preliminary report of these cases in 1948.* Since then one further example has been added to the series.
