Subject Cyclic Oculomotor Nerve Paresis; Charcot Marie Tooth Disease; Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy
Description Cyclic oculomotor nerve paresis is extremely rare and its exact pathophysiology remains mysterious. Based on electromyographic and electron microscopic evidence in two cases, Kommerell et al. suggested in 1988 that chronic damage to the oculomotor nerve may play a role in its pathogenesis1. A well-documented example of this entity is being presented in a boy who in addition was diagnosed with hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1).
