Isolated Ocular Motor Nerve Palsies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An isolated ocular motor nerve palsy is defined as dysfunction of a single ocular motor nerve (oculomotor, trochlear, or abducens) with no associated or localizing neurologic signs or symptoms. When occurring in patients aged 50 or older, the most common cause is microvascular ischemia, but serious etiologies such as aneurysm, malignancy, and giant cell arteritis should always be considered. In this article, the authors review the clinical approach, anatomy, and differential diagnosis of each isolated ocular motor nerve palsy and discuss the clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, and treatment of microvascular ischemia.

متن کاملDiabetes mellitus-associated ocular motor nerve palsies.
E diagnosis of ocular motor palsy enables prognosis and assists in treatment. In adults, the most common causes of ocular motor palsy are aneurysm, microvascular disease (such as diabetes mellitus [DM]), and trauma. In patients with DM, ocular motor nerve palsy is a common cause of acquired diplopia and/or ptosis.1,2 In diabetics, the calculated incidence of cranial nerves palsies is 5-10 times...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this nationwide cohort study was to evaluate whether the occurrence of isolated 3rd, 4th or 6th cranial nerve (CN) palsies is associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke. METHODS This study utilized data from Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database during 1995-2012. Subjects aged 20 years or older who had isolated CN 3/4/6 palsies diagnosed by a ne...
