Transient oculomotor paralysis in pseudotumor cerebri

Anne McCammon, M.D., Howard H. Kaufman, M.D. and E. Simon Sears, M.D.

From the Department of Neurology, Division of Neurosurgery, the University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, TX.

Transient oculomotor paralysis developed abruptly in a patient with well-documented pseudotumor cerebri. Other demonstrable causes of third-nerve palsy were excluded. Sixth-nerve palsy is known to occur in 10 to 40% of patients in most series of pseudotumor cerebri, but third-nerve palsy has not been reported previously. It may also be a nonspecific sign of raised intracranial pressure.

Accepted for publication May 6, 1980.
