Isolated pupil-sparing third nerve palsy. 1985

J D Trobe

The challenge in managing patients with pupil-sparing third nerve palsies is met most efficiently by dividing such patients into three groups according to the relative deficits in pupillomotor and extraocular muscle function: (1) patients with a normal pupillary sphincter and completely palsied extraocular muscles. Such patients should not have cerebral angiography if they are aged 50 or more; (2) patients with a normal pupillary sphincter and incompletely palsied extraocular muscles. Such patients should have angiography, particularly if the inferior oculomotor division is spared; (3) patients with a subnormal pupillary sphincter and completely palsied extraocular muscles ("relative pupil-sparing"). Such patients should have angiography unless they have clear-cut vasculopathic findings.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007498	Iris	The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009408	Nerve Compression Syndromes	Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.

D009802	Oculomotor Nerve	The 3d cranial nerve. The oculomotor nerve sends motor fibers to the levator muscles of the eyelid and to the superior rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique muscles of the eye. It also sends parasympathetic efferents (via the ciliary ganglion) to the muscles controlling pupillary constriction and accommodation. The motor fibers originate in the oculomotor nuclei of the midbrain.

D009886	Ophthalmoplegia	Paralysis of one or more of the ocular muscles due to disorders of the eye muscles, neuromuscular junction, supporting soft tissue, tendons, or innervation to the muscles.

D012025	Reflex, Pupillary	Constriction of the pupil in response to light stimulation of the retina. It refers also to any reflex involving the iris, with resultant alteration of the diameter of the pupil. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)	Pupillary Reflex
D002532	Intracranial Aneurysm	Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
