Shrapnel Injury of Isolated Third Cranial Nerve

Abstract: Isolated third nerve palsy develops in numerous intracranial pathologies such as closed head trauma, tumor, and aneurysm. Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy caused by shrapnel injury is uncommon. After a penetrating intracranial shrapnel injury, our patient with oculomotor ophthalmoplegia underwent surgery. Microsurgery removed the shrapnel that was applying pressure on the third nerve, resulting in contusion. A partial recovery associated with regeneration was observed at month 9. Extraocular muscle surgery shou… Show more

“…8 Direct penetrating injuries causing isolated ONP are much rarer, with just one previously found case report involving a shrapnel injury. 9 We report a case of a penetrating trauma by a car antenna causing an isolated ONP. To our knowledge, this is the first case of isolated ONP resulting from a penetrating stab wound to the orbit.…”
