Direct traumatic third nerve palsy. 1980

N B Solomons, and D J Solomon, and J C de Villiers

Traumatic third nerve palsy is an unusual condition. It is a serious prognostic feature, not for life but for permanent, serious neurological deficit. It can only be diagnosed with confidence if it is known to have been present from the moment of impact and if adequate investigation excludes a compressing haematoma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D006259 Craniocerebral Trauma Traumatic injuries involving the cranium and intracranial structures (i.e., BRAIN; CRANIAL NERVES; MENINGES; and other structures). Injuries may be classified by whether or not the skull is penetrated (i.e., penetrating vs. nonpenetrating) or whether there is an associated hemorrhage.
