A 37-year-old woman presented with an extremely rare large oculomotor schwannoma associated with acute hydrocephalus manifesting as semicoma and anisocoria. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor in the oculomotor cistern. Cerebral angiography revealed separation of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and superior cerebellar artery (SCA). The tumor was removed...

Objective To report a rare case of unruptured internal carotid-posterior communicating artery (IC-PC) aneurysm splitting the oculomotor nerve treated by clipping and to review the previously published cases. Case Presentation A 42-year-old man suddenly presented with left oculomotor paresis. Three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D DSA) demonstrated a left IC-PC aneurysm with a bul...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to consider the mechanism of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy after minor head trauma. CASE DESCRIPTION We report a rare case of delayed and isolated oculomotor nerve palsy following minor head trauma. A 19-year-old boy complained of double vision 1 day after a minor head trauma. Neuro-ophthalmic examination showed isolated left oculomotor nerve palsy. ...

BACKGROUND Considering the extensive neural network of the oculomotor subsystems, traumatic brain injury (TBI) could affect oculomotor control and related reading dysfunction. OBJECTIVE To evaluate comprehensively the effect of oculomotor-based vision rehabilitation (OBVR) in individuals with mTBI. METHODS Twelve subjects with mTBI participated in a cross-over, interventional study involvin...

however, somewhat outdated. This volume is organized into four sections. The first section discusses the physiology of binocular vision and oculomotor coordination. That section was originally written by Burian in 1970, and is outdated in places because more recent research has clarified some of the older questions. While the chapters in the portion on binocular vision are excellent, some of th...

493 The common features of these cases are the development of ptosis at an early age (under 20 years) and small stature. Retinal pigmentary degeneration was seen in all except the cases of Sandifer and Ross et al. The pigmentary epithelium appears thin and atrophic and there is diffuse mottling of the pigment epithelium, greatest in the peripapillary zone. There is diffuse stippling of pigment ...

Clewett Price, D. M., and Trounce, D. Q. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 881. Cyclic oculomotor paralysis. Cyclic oculomotor palsy is a rare condition that is usually either congenital or presents in early childhood. Its essential features consist of paralysis of the oculomotor nerve supplying one eye with cycles of involuntary spasm and relaxation of the sphincter pupillae, and u...

Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric malignancies have substantially increased the number of childhood cancer survivors. However, reports suggest that some of the chemotherapy agents used for treatment can cross the blood brain barrier which may lead to a host of neurological symptoms including oculomotor dysfunction. Whether chemotherapy at young age causes oculomotor dysfuncti...
