Third Nerve

Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is a well-established non-invasive investigation for this neurological presentation to exclude intracranial aneurysms. However, dural arteriovenous fistulae with anterograde venous drainage only can be missed by CTA. Here we reported two patients with painful complete third nerve palsy and dural carotid cavernous fistulae with anterograde venous drainage only missed by CTA. The natural history and management option are discussed. In patients with persistent symptoms or without vasculopathic risk factors, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) should be considered to exclude the diagnosis.

Third Nerve

A 64-year-old man with a midbrain cavernoma and prior bleeding presented with a 1-week history of diplopia, partial left oculomotor nerve palsy, and worsening dysmetria and right-sided weakness. MRI revealed a hemorrhagic left tectal plate and midbrain cavernoma. A left suboccipital supracerebellar transtentorial approach in the sitting position was performed for resection of his lesion utilizing the lateral mesencephalic sulcus safe entry zone. Postoperatively, he developed a partial right oculomotor nerve palsy; imaging depicted complete resection of the cavernoma. He recovered from the right third nerve palsy, weakness, and dysmetria, with significant improvement of his partial left third nerve palsy.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/ofj8zFWNUGU.

✓ Forty-two patients with aneurysm-induced third nerve palsy are described. After carotid ligation, 58% showed satisfactory and 42% unsatisfactory functional recovery. In some patients the deficit continued to increase even after carotid ligation. Early ligation provided a better chance of recovery of third nerve function. Patients in whom third nerve palsy began after subarachnoid hemorrhage had a poor prognosis. No relationship was noted between the size of the aneurysm and the recovery of third nerve function.

The common causes of isolated third nerve palsy are microvascular infarction, intracranial aneurysm, diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Here we are presenting a case of 26-year female presenting with a history of head injury two months back. She presented with ptosis on the left side. On computed tomography, a large left-sided chronic subdural hematoma with significant midline shift was found. Isolated ipsilateral third nerve palsy is a rare presentation with unilateral chronic subdural hematoma. Improvement in ptosis after surgery indicate a good neurological outcome.
