THE OCULAR SEQUELAE OF THIRD CRANIAL NERVE PALSY.
The ocular sequelae in nineteen patients who had suffered from a complete paralysis of the third cranial nerve were analyzed. In eleven of these patients, the paralysis was associated with an aneurysm of the internal carotid artery system. None of the cases in this group showed complete recovery of the third nerve function; however, six recovered sufficiently to permit binocular single vision in most fields of gaze. Two cases of aberrant regeneration of the third nerve were diagnosed.Trauma accounted for four cases of third nerve paralysis. One of these recovered completely and one showed features of aberrant regeneration. Of the cases of oculomotor paralysis associated with herpes zoster ophthalmicus, encephalitis, or an obscure etiology (two cases), all recovered completely.
