Description Traumatic damage to the third cranial nerve may result in aberrant regeneration of fibers that innervate the eyelid, pupil, or extraocular muscles. For instance, there may be lid retraction in attempted downgaze. Any combination of aberrant activation of third nerve-innervated structures may occur, including pupil, eyelid, and extraocular muscle movement. Aberrancy may follow any cause (eg, trauma, tumor, aneurysm) of the third nerve palsy except vasculopathic (eg, diabetic) third nerve palsy.
