The oculomotor nerve was relieved of the burden it was bearing. Rita made a remarkable recovery and was discharged in a few days. When she returned three months later, she gave me a piercing look, her ...

Oculomotor (III) and trochlear nuclei (IV) reside in the midbrain. The third nerve exits ventrally from the medial aspects of the crus cerebri in the interpeduncular fossa. Lesions of the oculomotor ...

Isolated third cranial nerve palsies in head trauma patients can be the result of direct or indirect damage to the oculomotor nerve. They are usually associated with severe head trauma. We reported a ...

1. Introduction Etiologies of oculomotor nerve palsies include structural lesions, cerebrovascular disease, infection/inflammation, and trauma, and vary depending on the location of the insult.

Causes Two cranial nerves — cranial nerve 3, known as the oculomotor nerve, and cranial nerve 4, known as the trochlear nerve — control the muscles that move the eyes vertically.

The oculomotor nerve enables most of your eye movements, some aspects of vision, and raising the eyelid. It's the third cranial nerve and works with cranial nerves four (trochlear) and five ...
