| Abstract |
In the past, angiography was performed in all patients as part of the initial workup for isolated oculomotor paralysis, except patients older than 40 years with pupillary sparing. The pupil-sparing group was not subjected to angiography because of a low probability of cerebral aneurysm. It is believed that the case reported here constitutes the lower age limit (14 years) for documented, isolated oculomotor paralysis due to aneurysm. It is recommended that an angiogram not be a necessary part of the workup of patients 10 years old or younger. |
