[Complications of alcohol injection into the mandibular nerve. Gasserian palsy and oculomotor palsy (author's transl)].
Total sensory loss, ptosis, ocular muscle palsy and pupil dilatation were noted after alcohol injection into mandibular nerve for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (in the right 2. and 3. division). The diagnosis was made that the injected alcohol induced the Gasserian palsy and oculomotor palsy. The oculomotor palsy was fully recovered except slight pupil dilatation after four months. The mechanism and prophylaxis of these complications are discussed.
