Abstract

Isolated oculomotor palsy due to vascular compression at the root exit zone is an extremely rare entity. A 59-year-old male patient was presented with complaints of diplopia and mild ptosis. A thin-sliced MRI demonstrated that, the right posterior cerebral artery was impinging on the right oculomotor nerve at the root exit zone. Carbamazepine therapy was initiated, and after a month of medication, both diplopia and ptosis had completely resolved.Although it is extremely rare, vascular compression of the oculomotor nerve at the root exit zone should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of isolated oculomotor palsy.

Özet

Kök çıkış bölgesindeki damar basısına bağlı izole okulomotor sinir parezisi son derece nadir görülen bir olgudur. Elli dokuz yaşında erkek hasta kliniğimize çift görme ve göz kapağında düşüklük şikayetleriyle başvurdu. Yapılan nörolojik muayenesinde sağ okulomotor sinir parezisi tespit edildi. Hastanın kranial manyetik rezonans incelemesinde sağ okulomotor sinirin kök çıkış bölgesine, sağ posterior serebral arterin bası yaptığı görüldü. Karbamazepin başlanan hastanın tüm şikayetleri, birinci ayın sonunda tamamen düzelmişti. Nadir görülse de, damar basısı, izole okulomotor sinir parezilerinin ayırıcı tanısında mutlaka akılda bulundurulmalıdır.
