Recurrent Alternating Oculomotor Nerve Palsy: An Unusual Presentation of Parasagittal Meningioma

摘要

We present a previously unreported case of 57-year-old man suffering from diplopia. Motility assessment revealed a total right oculomotor nerve palsy that spontaneously resolved in about 10–18 days. Three years later, sudden oculomotor nerve palsy occurred in his left eye and complete resolution with out any treatment was observed after a month. Five years from the second episode there was a further recurrence in the right eye. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a parasagittal meningioma.
