| Description |
Third (3rd) nerve palsy is characterized by some combination of lid, pupil, and motility dysfunction. Causes include microvascular ischemia, compression, and aneurysms. Accurate diagnosis is essential to avoid potentially lifethreatening 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. |
