Isolated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy Following Minor Head Trauma; a Case report
Journal Title: Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Isolated third nerve palsy develops in numerous intracranial pathologies such as closed head trauma, tumor, and aneurysm. This report describes a 61 years old female with an abrasion on the left forehead and ptosis of the left eye. Initial computed tomography did not reveal any causative cerebral and vascular lesions or orbital and cranial fractures. High-resolution and multi-axial enhanced Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be helpful in diagnosis and monitoring of patients with this rare phenomenon.
