Description |
The most common cause in adults of a neurologically isolated, pupil-spared and complete third nerve palsy is ischemia. Some authors have recommended that neuroimaging in this setting is not necessary and that close observation for improvement over time along with treatment of vasculopathic risk factors is sufficient. We describe a midbrain infarct as the etiology of an isolated, acute, third nerve palsy. |
