[A 10-year-old case with idiopathic oculomotor nerve palsy].
We reported a 10-year-old girl with acquired left oculomotor nerve palsy. Neurologic and radiological examinations failed to reveal the etiology. Following administration of corticosteroid and vitamin B6, diplopia improved within 6 weeks, and mydriasis has been improving over the past 9 months. Idiopathic acquired oculomotor nerve palsy is a very rare condition in childhood, and prognosis of the disease is sometimes good.
