Background: Aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve is most commonly due to its damage by trauma. Case: A ten-month old child presented with the history of a fall from a four-storey building. She developed traumatic third nerve palsy and eventually the clinical features of aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve. The adduction of the eye improved over time. She was advised for patching for the strabismic amblyopia as well. Conclusion: Traumatic third nerve palsy may result in aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve. In younger patients, motility of the eye in different gazes may improve over time. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v4i1.5872 NEPJOPH 2012; 4(1): 176-178

✓ Aberrant regeneration of the oculomotor nerve usually follows injury to the nerve by posterior communicating artery aneurysms or trauma. A case of idiopathic third nerve palsy with pupillary involvement occurred in an otherwise healthy 38-year-old man. Follow-up examination 32 months later showed evidence of oculomotor function with aberrant regeneration.

✓ The case is presented of a 27-year-old man who developed a basilar artery bifurcation embolus encompassing Hilal microcoil as a complication following therapeutic embolization. An immediate direct surgical approach to the basilar artery bifurcation enabled the microcoil and associated thrombus to be removed and flow to be restored in the basilar artery and its distal branches. Postoperatively, the patient made a good recovery and on discharge was neurologically normal with the exception of a right third nerve palsy. This case suggests that in selected patients a direct surgical approach to the top of the basilar artery may be possible for treatment of emboli.

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.
