Pupil Involving 3 rd Nerve Palsy Aneurysm at junction of posterior communicating artery and internal carotid artery Aneurysm at junction of posterior communicating artery and internal carotid artery Partial pupil involvement in 25-47% of patients with posterior communicating artery aneurysms Partial pupil involvement in 25-47% of patients with posterior communicating artery aneurysms

Slide 20

Pupil Sparing 3 rd Nerve Palsy Microvascular ischemia most common cause Microvascular ischemia most common cause pupillary involvement in up to 20% (typically mild 1mm anisocoria) may present with pain diplopia improves within 3 months Aberrant regeneration Aberrant regeneration common after trauma or compression by aneurysm or tumor NOT WITH MICROVASCULAR ISCHEMIA

3 rd Nerve Palsy Rare causes Rare causes tumor, inflammation (sarcoid), vasculitis, infection (meningitis), infiltration (lymphoma, carcinoma), trauma (pupil involving) Divisional Divisional lesion of anterior cavernous sinus or possibly posterior orbit Children Children ophthalmoplegic migraine ophthalmoplegia develops days after onset of head pain
