IMAGING OF OCULOMOTOR NERVE PALSY: LESIONS AT MEDIOVENTRAL PART OF THE THALAMUS AND MIDBRAIN
Abstract
Two patients presented with third nerve palsy. One patient had an ischemic focus at anteromedial part of the thalamus and another patient had a subacute hematoma at anteromedial part of the thalamus, upper pons and midbrain. The images were demonstrated by MRI study. Discussion concerning the path of the oculomotor nerves and the pathologic processes were performed.
