Aberrant regeneration in idiopathic oculomotor nerve palsy: case report.
Aberrant regeneration of the oculomotor nerve usually follows injury to the nerve by posterior communicating arty aneurysms or trauma. A case of idiopathic third nerve palsy with pupillary involvement occurred in an otherwise healthy 38-year-old man. Follow-up examination 32 months later showed evidence of oculomotor function with aberrant regeneration.
