[Intracranial lipoma associated with partial paralysis of the homolateral oculomotor nerve diagnosed by means of computerized axial tomography].
The authors refer a case of lipoma of the middle cranial fossa in a 48-year-old-man, who also showed a incomplete paralysis of third omolateral cranial nerve. By the analysis of clinical symptoms and of the data in the literature, the AA. are of the opinion that the third nerve deficit they observed is due to a primary malformation of the nerve itself. The importance of radiological findings is emphasized: the stratigraphy showed sphenoid bone defects; the CT allowed the right diagnosis displaying an area of low attenuations values.
