We describe the clinical, MR imaging, and pathologic findings in two cases of primary sellar lymphoma in immunocompetent individuals. Both patients had hypopituitarism, and one patient had a sixth cranial nerve palsy. MR images depicted sellar and suprasellar masses in both patients, and extension into the cavernous and sphenoid sinuses was also present in one patient. The pathologic diagnosis ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recovery of oculomotor (cranial nerve [CN] III) palsy after surgery of posterior communicating artery (PcomA) aneurysms has been well documented, but recovery after coiling is poorly understood. In this study, we report the recovery after coiling of PcomA aneurysm-induced CN III palsy in 21 patients at follow-up of 1 to 7 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 135 patients wit...

<p class="abstract">A 7-year-old patient presented with acute onset spontaneous common peroneal nerve (CPN) palsy due to osteochondroma of fibular head. Osteochondroma was excised resulting in complete neurological recovery. As per our knowledge, this is the first case an CPN a child osteochondroma. 14 studies reporting patients were analyzed. Of 24 reported condition literature, 19 (79%)...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)-sometimes called pseudotumor cerebri-is a neurologic condition distinguished by any of the following symptoms: headache, increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure, papilledema, vision loss, diplopia, tinnitus, deafness, nausea and vomiting, or sixth nerve palsy. Medical and surgical management options are available for patients with IIH. The authors repor...

Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is a rare disease with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. It typically presents with orbital pain associated with palsy of the third, fourth, or sixth cranial nerve. We present an interesting case of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome in a young male who responded well to high-dose steroids and in a few days had significant improvement in his retro-orbital pain and ocu...

Three patients with paralysed horizontal gaze are presented. Involuntary use of convergence to assist horizontal gaze was noted as a late feature. All patients showed (1) unilateral or bilateral horizontal gaze palsy (two patients had one and a half syndrome, the other had bilateral nuclear sixth nerve palsies), (2) adduction of both eyes on attempted gaze into the paralysed field, (3) miosis w...

conclusions complete rupture of the facial nerve is challenging and the treatment is surgery, which requires careful planning. introduction facial paralysis is a devastating condition with profound functional, aesthetic and psychosocial consequences. tumors within or outside the skull, bell’s palsy and trauma are the most common causes of facial paralysis in adults. case presentation our patien...

Oculomotor palsy is a mononeuropathy, which causes sudden unilateral ptosis and double vision. It often affects older people who have concurrent diabetes and/or hypertension. Oculomotor palsy generally resolves over three to four months as regeneration of affected nerve fibres. there is no effective biomedical treatment. In this report, I present a 76-yearold man who experienced left-sided ocul...

Neurological signs have been described as “false localising” if they reflect dysfunction distant or remote from the expected anatomical locus of pathology, hence challenging the traditional clinicoanatomical correlation paradigm on which neurological examination is based. False localising signs occur in two major contexts: as a consequence of raised intracranial pressure, and with spinal cord l...
