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...

A 42-year-old woman presented with isolated right third nerve palsy and preceding lethargy. A previous head injury had required craniotomy, orbital reconstruction and medication to control the subsequent epilepsy. Apart from the pupillarysparing third nerve palsy, the general and neurological examinations were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed post-traumatic right frontal cortic...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the relationship of the lingual nerve with the adjacent anatomical structures of the mandibular third molar region, influencing the dentist to be aware of the variability of these relationships. MATERIAL AND METHODS Samples of 24 human corpse half-heads were selected and divided according with the presence or absence of the mandibular third molars. The lingual ...

BACKGROUND Surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar is associated with a number of complications including postoperative bleeding, dry socket, postoperative infection, and injury to regional nerves. Lingual nerve damage is one of the main complications. To prevent this complication different techniques had been used. Lingual flap reflection is one of these procedures in which lingual...

The effect of endovascular treatment on the recovery of neural function in patients with third nerve palsy caused by an aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery is poorly documented. We report three cases in which third nerve paresis resolved completely within 2 to 3 weeks of endovascular occlusion of a posterior communicating artery aneurysm.

Brachialis muscle anatomy and its innervation has been studied previously by many authors. There have been inconsistent description of the brachialis muscle anatomy in literature. In the present study 40 upper limbs of twenty embalmed Indian cadavers were dissected and found that all specimens of the brachialis had 2 heads, superficial and deep. The larger, superficial head had more proximal or...

Objective: To report a case of pituitary apoplexy presenting with unilateral ptosis and third nerve palsy in diabetic hypertensive patient. Clinical Presentation Intervention: A 50 years old man developed palsy. macro adenoma hemorrhagic necrotic changes on MRI scan was resected by endoscopic transsphenoidal procedure. Third improved promptly completely few hours postoperatively. Conclusion: Th...
