3rd cranial nerveOculomotor nerveEntirely motor in functionSupplies –• All the Extraocular muscles except superior oblique and lateral rectus• Levator palpebrae superioris• Intra ocular muscles- Sphincter pupillae and cilliary
muscle

NucleusLocated in midbrain at the level of superior
colliculus, ventral to the Sylvian aquiduct.
Composed of• Unpaired levator subnucleus• Paired superior rectus sub nuclei• Paired medial rectus, inferior rectus and
inferior oblique subnuclei• Unpaired Edinger-Westphal nucleus

Course
Can be divided into – Fascicular Basilar Intracavernous Intraorbital part

Major causes of nuclear complex lesion of 3rd nerve palsy
Vascular occlusion – Diabetes & Hypertension
Neoplastic lesions – primary tumour or metastasis
Haemorrhage

Major causes of fascicular lesion of 3rd nerve palsy
Vascular occlusion – Diabetes & Hypertension
Neoplastic lesions – primary tumour or metastasis
Haemorrhage
Demyelination

Syndromes of Fascicular lesion
Benedikt syndrome- Ipsilateral 3rd nerve palsy and contralateral extrapyramidal signs
Weber syndrome- Ipsilateral 3rd nerve palsy and contralateral hemiparesis
Nothnagel syndrome- Ipsilateral 3rd nerve palsy and cerebellar ataxia
Claude syndrome-

Major causes of lesion in Basilar region
The 3rd nerve traverses the basilar part unaccompanied by any other cranial nerves.
Isolated 3rd nerve palsies are commonly basilar.
The important causes areAneurysmHead trauma-Extradural or subdural
haematoma

Major causes of Intracavernous lesion
Usually associated with involvement of 4th, 6th nerves & first division of 5th nerve.
Diabetes – causes pupil sparing 3rd nerve palsyPituitary apoplexyOthers – Aneurysm, Meningeoma, Carotid-
cavernous fistula.

Intraorbital causes of 3rd nerve palsy
Trauma
Vascular
Neoplasm
Inflammation

Pupillomotor fibersParasympathetic fibers
Located superficially between the brainstem and the cavernous sinus
Blood supply derived from the pial blood vessels
Main trunk of 3rd nerve supplied by the vasa nervorum

Causes of isolated 3rd nerve palsy Idiopathic – about 25%
Vascular – Hypertension & Diabetes (commonly pupil sparing)
Aneurysm – posterior communicating artery at its junction with internal carotid artery
Trauma – subdural haematoma with uncal herniation
Miscellaneous

SYMPTOMS
Drooping of eyelid
Binocular double vision
Pain (may be present)

Treatment
Non-surgical
Treatment of underlying cause
Diplopia – Occlusion patch or prism in involved eye
Monitor children for development of amblyopia
![Page 28: Oculomotor nerve palsy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/55d28ce0bb61eb424f8b4600/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Treatment
Surgical
Neurosurgery – Aneurysm or haematoma
Strabismus or ptosis surgery – Not earlier than 6 months from time of onset
![Page 29: Oculomotor nerve palsy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/55d28ce0bb61eb424f8b4600/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Follow-up
Pupil sparing – Observe daily for 5 days for pupil involvement
Recheck every 4 to 6 weeks
If secondary to ischemia function usually returns within 3 months

Differential Diagnosis
Myasthenia gravis
