Isolated sixth nerve palsy
An isolated sixth nerve palsy may be a harbinger of underlying intracranial disease. Due to its long subarachnoid course, it may be damaged by downward shift of the brainstem as often occurs in increased or decreased intracranial pressure (“false-localizing sixth nerve palsy”). Alternatively, the sixth nerve may be involved in isolation by a compressive lesion in the cavernous sinus or along th...
متن کاملUnruptured saccular aneurysm presenting migraine.
Headache can be attributed to cranial or cervical vascular disorders including ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, unruptured vascular malformation, arteritis, carotid-vertebral artery pain, and cerebral venous thrombosis. Here, we present a case report of unruptured saccular aneurysm with migraine. The patient was a previously healthy 32-year-ol...
متن کاملIsolated sixth nerve palsy from pontine infarct.
Isolated sixth nerve palsy associated with pontine infarct is very rare due to close anatomic organization of the structures. A 62-year-old woman, who complained of diplopia, had a diagnosis of sixth nerve palsy. Ophthalmological examination revealed 30 PD left esotropia in primary position with limited abduction of the left eye. Neurologic examination was normal. MR showed a lacunar infarct in...
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment for a Persistent Trigeminal Artery Aneurysm Presenting as Isolated Sixth Nerve Palsy
embryological vascular remnants (1). The most common embryonic communication between the carotid and vertebrobasilar systems is a persistent trigeminal artery (PTA). This has been observed in 0.1 -0.2 % of cerebral angiograms, usually as an incidental finding (2). Although the presence of PTA is generally thought to be of uncertain significant, these arteries and their variants have been identi...
متن کاملIsolated hypoglossal nerve palsy caused by neurovascular compression.
An 80-year-old man presented with difficulty in swallowing and speaking which had progressed over one year. Neurological examination revealed right hypoglossal nerve palsy with ipsilateral atrophy (Picture A). Laryngoscopic examination was unremarkable. Slowly progressive dysarthria and dysphagia with tongue atrophy initially indicated motor neuron disease (MND), but needle electromyographic ex...
