A Cause of Ophthalmoplegia

Giuseppe Scotti, MD

Arch Neurol. 1974;31(4):273-275.

Abstract
Two patients had an acute third nerve palsy associated with a tortuous posterior cerebral artery originating directly from the internal carotid. Anatomical considerations and perusal of the literature emphasize that this is an important potential cause of ophthalmoplegia.
