A 56-year-old male was admitted with an acute headache and sudden ptosis on the right side. No ophthalmological or neurological etiologies were apparent. A mucocele of the right posterior ethmoid sinus was observed with radiology. After the marsupialization of the mucocele via a transnasal endoscopic approach, the patient's symptoms (oculomotor nerve paralysis and headache) resolved in 4 weeks....

Delayed postoperative oculomotor nerve palsy is a rare complication that occurs in the setting of microsurgical aneurysm clipping. While a number of theories have been postulated to explain the development of delayed postoperative oculomotor nerve palsies, the underlying pathophysiology of such complications still remain to be elucidated. In this report, we present a case of delayed postoperati...

A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of double vision combined with left ptosis. Although at 25 years of age she had already been diagnosed with limb weakness associated with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), she had never experienced double vision until her latest condition. Neurological examination revealed left oculomotor palsy without other crania...

INTRODUCTION Recurrent oculomotor nerve palsies are extremely rare clinical conditions. CASE REPORT Here, we report on a unique case of a short-lasting recurrent unilateral incomplete external and complete internal oculomotor nerve palsy. The episodic palsies were probably caused by an ipsilateral mesencephalic metastasis of a breast carcinoma and occurred after successful brain radiation the...

We report a case of oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) as a result of odontogenic infection originating from the third molar, which is considered rare.

infarct in the left midbrain, visited Yeungnam University Hospital and underwent conservative management. Brain magnetic resonance imaging performed at 1 week from onset showed a leukomalactic lesion in the left midbrain (Fig. 1A). Mild ptosis (3 mm) and mild limitation in the upward (20) and medical (10) gaze were observed. However, his left eye was not deviated, and did not show mydriasis. Di...

Introduction: Internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery aneurysms (ICPCANs) are occasionally located under the anterior petroclinoid fold (tentorium). The tentorium must be resected to achieve safe and secure clipping of ICPCAN. surgeon performing procedure careful not damage oculomotor nerve, which is usually behind aneurysm, ensure that patient's function preserved. In this artic...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014207749 DESCRIPTION A 44-year-old man with hyperlipidaemia and chronic hepatitis C infection presented with a 48 h history of diplopia and occipital headaches. On neurological examination, he was alert and afebrile. There was right oculomotor palsy consisting of right medial rect...

An 85-year-old male presented with bilateral chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) resulting in unilateral oculomotor nerve paresis and brainstem symptoms immediately after removal of both hematomas in a single operation. Initial computed tomography on admission demonstrated marked thick bilateral hematomas buckling the brain parenchyma with a minimal midline shift. Almost simultaneous removal of ...

Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) attributable to mild closed head trauma is a distinct rarity. Its diagnosis places high demands on the radiologist and the clinician. The authors describe this condition in a 36-year-old woman who slipped while walking and struck her face. Initial computed tomography did not reveal any causative cerebral and vascular lesions or orbital and cranial fractures...
