<p class="abstract">Neonatal facial palsy is a very rare diagnosis with only few previously published cases of newborns, it can have varying etiologies apart from traumatic causes. The congenital, infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic causes must be eliminated before making the definitive paralysis. A multidisciplinary approach recommended to differentiate various and initiate treatment in...

A 42-year-old woman presented with isolated right third nerve palsy and preceding lethargy. A previous head injury had required craniotomy, orbital reconstruction and medication to control the subsequent epilepsy. Apart from the pupillarysparing third nerve palsy, the general and neurological examinations were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed post-traumatic right frontal cortic...

Ipsilateral third nerve palsy with early pupillary enlargement is an important sign of transtentorial herniation from a supratentorial mass lesion. A case of frontal, intraparenchymal haemorrhage is reported in which the first ocular manifestation of transtentorial herniation was enlargement of the contralateral pupil. The ipsilateral pupil dilated only after complete oculomotor palsy of the co...

Measurements of the dynamics of the eyes in ocular motor nerve palsies may aid diagnosis, characterize peripheral and central palsies, and reveal adaptive properties of the brain. Saccadic and vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) functions of patients with peripheral and central sixth, and peripheral third and fourth nerve palsies were studied by three dimensional magnetic field search coil oculograph...

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction. Ocular myasthenia gravis presents as ptosis with extraocular motility restriction and is prone to be misdiagnosed as third nerve palsy or congenital or aponeurotic ptosis. Juvenile ocular myasthenia gravis in very young children is difficult to diagnose and can be easily labeled as a case of congenital ptosis, the...

A patient with traumatic brain injury showed incomplete oculomotor nerve palsy in the subarachnoid space. A 12-year-old girl was hospitalized after a head injury. Neuro-ophthalmic examination showed that the left eye had a ptosis and pupillary involvement. An MRI indicated an intracranial hematoma at the basilar portion of the left temple. The ptosis and pupillary involvement improved after eli...
