Abstract
|
|
|
|
We present a 34-yr-old lymphoma patient who developed isolated oculomotor nerve palsy. Initial brain MRI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings were negative, but follow-up brain MRI showed a mass lesion in the cavernous sinus which encroached on the oculomotor nerve. This case suggest that, when isolated oculomotor nerve palsy develops in a patient with lymphoma, cavernous sinus involvement should be considered. Although initial brain imaging and CSF findings were negative, the follow-up imaging should be performed to detect the cause of the neurologic sign.
