Cerebellar influence on the oculomotor evoked potential was investigated. Bilateral decerebration was performed in 25 adult cats by thalamocollicular section under chloralose anesthesia. The evoked potential in the oculomotor nucleus by the electrical stimulation of the isolated medial rectus nerve was inhibited by the repeated electrical stimulation of a restricted area of the cerebellar corte...

INTRODUCTION Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor used in the treatment of multiple myeloma. A newly recognized oculomotor nerve palsy related to bortezomib is described. CASE PRESENTATION A 54-year-old Caucasian woman with immunoglobulin G kappa multiple myeloma on single-agent bortezomib given by intravenous push once weekly developed isolated unilateral partially reversible left sided ocul...

was limited to early steroid therapy and occlusion therapy. The prognosis of oculomotor nerve palsy varies according to its etiology and the associated neurological problems. Some authors suggest waiting for at least six months before strabismus surgery, which permits the cause of oculomotor palsy to be evaluated and allows for possible spontaneous recovery [2]. A surgical approach, including s...

The ciliary ganglion of the domestic turkey (Meleagris gallopavo domesticus) is located between the posterior wall of the eyeball and the optic nerve. It is closely connected with the oculomotor nerve; in particular with its inferior branch. The ganglion has a cask-like shape and is adjacent to the inferior branch of the oculomotor nerve. From this ganglion postganglionic fibres emerge which ar...

One 57-year-old lady with uncontrolled hypertension and right-side pupil-sparing oculomotor palsy visited our emergency department. Computed tomographic angiography revealed right-side persistent primitive trigeminal artery. Her symptoms dramatically improved after her blood pressure went under control. To our knowledge, this is the first case report that describes the relation between blood pr...

OBJECTIVE To derive a reliable estimate of the frequency of pupil involvement in patients with diabetes-associated oculomotor nerve palsy. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this prospective study, standardized enrollment criteria were employed to identify 26 consecutive patients with diabetes-associated oculomotor nerve palsy who were evaluated in a referral-based, outpatient neuro-ophthalmology practi...

Ten cases of primary oculomotor nerve palsy due to head injury are presented. All ten patients had a dilated, non reactive pupil. Seven had complete oculomotor palsy. Two had partial extraocular palsy or blepharoptosis and one had neither extraocular palsy nor blepharoptosis. The initial ophthalmoplegia was recognized immediately after trauma. Nine patients had severely impaired consciousness o...

Abstract Herpes zoster ophthalmicus is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, affecting ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve, called nerve. characterized painful rash and blisters on one side forehead around eye, along with symptoms such as eye redness, tearing, sensitivity to light, can also lead serious complications, corneal ulcers, glaucoma, vision loss, particularly if in...
