A Rare Presentation of Isolated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy due to Multiple Sclerosis in a Child
Authors
Abstract:
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 palsy, impaired upward and downward deviation, and bilateral ptosis. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain revealed demyelinating changes in the midbrain.

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...
full textIsolated 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...
full textTumefactive: A Rare First presentation of Multiple Sclerosis
Tumefactive demyelinating lesions are a rare presentation of multiple sclerosis (MS). Diagnosis of tumefactive is commonly carried out using magnetic resonance image (MRI). Tumefactive diagnosis is difficult because of may similar to the clinical and MRI characteristics of glioma or a cerebral abscess. We presented a 35-years-old female with one episode of secondary generalized seizure after de...
full textIsolated Oculomotor (Third) Nerve Palsy: A Rare Presentation in a Patient with Bilateral Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH)
CSDH is an encapsulated collection of old blood, mostly liquefied and located between the dura mater and arachnoid. It was first described in the literature by Virchow in 1857 as “pachymeningitis haemorrhagica interna”. Later Trotter put forward the theory of traumatic rupture of bridging veins as a cause of what he named “subdural haemorrhagic cyst”. A history of head trauma is not always esse...
full textMultiple Hypercementosis: Report of a Rare Presentation
Abstract Hypercementosis is identified by an excessive, non-neoplastic deposition of radicular cementum and is mostly presented as a solitary lesion or in rare cases as a multiple type. It usually occurs in the premolar and molar region of mandible with no sex predilection. In this paper, we reported a 57-year-old female patient with multiple radiopaque lesions affecting right maxillary second...
