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.
