Oculomotor nerve palsy generally presents with mydriasis, blepharoptosis, and impairment of extraocular muscle movement. The incidence of primary traumatic oculomotor nerve palsy in craniocerebral trauma is approximately 1.2% [1]. The causes of oculomotor nerve palsy are congenital, traumatic, vascular, migrainous, and parainfectious. Especially in children, it is often caused by congenital fac...

Pupil involvement in patients with diabetes-associated oculomotor nerve palsy.

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...

MR of oculomotor nerve palsy.

PURPOSE To assess the utility of MR in third cranial nerve palsy. METHODS We reviewed precontrast and postcontrast MR of 50 patients with third cranial nerve palsy. RESULTS MR demonstrated an appropriate lesion in 32 cases. Of these patients, 6 had brain stem lesions and 15 had involvement of the nerve in the cavernous sinus; lesions of the cisternal segment of the nerve were present in 11 ...
