| Description |
Third (3rd) nerve palsy is characterized by some combination of ptosis, limited adduction, supraduction, infraduction, and pupillary function. Causes include microvascular ischemia, compression, and aneurysms. Accurate diagnosis is essential to avoid potentially life-threatening consequences and unnecessary testing. We assessed the frequency of 3rd nerve palsy misdiagnosis based upon referrals to two high volume tertiary care neuro-ophthalmology services, and characterized the specific diagnostic errors. |
