| Abstract: | Purpose: Multiple etiologies may cause oculomotor nerve palsies. Identification of different etiologies is very important for subsequent treatment. Midbrain infarction is a rare cause of oculomotor nerve palsy. Materials and methods: We herein present a case of isolated unilateral oculomotor paresis caused by pure midbrain infarction. Results: Her pupillary sphincter and inferior rectus muscles were selectively spared. The symptoms were completely relieved after two months of antiplatelet therapy. We proposed that fibers from Edinger-Westphal nucleus and inferior rectus nucleus do not course through the paramedian area of the midbrain. Conclusions: Our report adds to the understanding of fascicles arrangement in the midbrain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
