Abstract

Oculomotor nerve palsy secondary to a compressive lesion is typically presented with clinical findings like anisocoria and ptosis. Seldom does its atypical presentation mimic the features of other neurological diseases. Hence, considering the underlying cause is vital, as it may rarely be the first sign of a ruptured or non-ruptured aneurysm, even if the absence of pupil involvement does not suggest such compressive causes. Herein, we reported the case of a patient who presented with fluctuating ptosis and diplopia secondary to spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the internal carotid artery.

Özet

Kompresyona bağlı okulomotor sinir felci anizokori ve pitoz gibi tipik klinik bulgular ile prezente olur. Nadiren birçok nörolojik tabloyu taklit eder şekilde atipik prezentasyon gösterebilir. Özellikle pupil tutulumu eşlik etmediği durumlarda okulomotor sinire bası yapan kompresif sebeplerden uzaklaşılsa da nadiren altta yatan sebebin rüptüre ya da rüptüre olmamış bir anevrizmanın ilk bulgusu olabileceğini göz önünde bulundurmak hayati önem taşır. Bu yazıda internal karotid arterdeki spontan dissekan anevrizmaya sekonder fluktuasyon gösteren pitoz ve diplopi ile prezente olan bir olgudan bahsedeceğiz.
