“…However, the actual mechanisms of isolated ONP from minor head trauma are still not apparent. It has been reported that most patients with traumatic ONP had suffered a blow to the central frontal region of the head like the present case5,9). With frontal blows to the head, a violent linear accelerated force in the rostro-caudal plane is generated, which runs parallel to the course of the ON11).…”

Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) attributable to mild closed head trauma is a distinct rarity. Its diagnosis places high demands on the radiologist and the clinician. The authors describe this condition in a 36-year-old woman who slipped while walking and struck her face. Initial computed tomography did not reveal any causative cerebral and vascular lesions or orbital and cranial fractures. Enhancement and swelling of the cisternal segment of the oculomotor nerve was seen during the subacute phase on thin-sectioned contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images. The current case received corticosteroid therapy, and then recovered fully in 13 months after injury. Possible mechanism of ONP from minor head injury is proposed and previous reports in the literature are reviewed.

“…18 The posterior petroclinoid ligament is a candidate structure for injuring the oculomotor nerve and causing oculomotor nerve palsy. Traction at points of fixation is liable to damage the nerve and provoke either intraneural haemorrhage or stretching.…”

“…A compression during its course can lead to third nerve palsy. This being one of the most likely sites of nerve injury as postulated by Kruger et al [8]. Other sites of third nerve injury include the cavernous sinus, as the nerve approaches and passes over the petro-clinoid ligament or when the nerve passes through the dura on its way into the cavernous sinus.…”

Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the brain are uncommon congenital lesions with a complex array of arterial to venous shunts. The common clinical manifestations include hemorrhage, seizures, headache and congestive heart failure. We recently saw a child who presented with bilateral ptosis, a rather rare and unusual manifestation of AVM. We discuss the reported ocular manifestations of AVM and the possible pathogenesis of the ptosis in this child.
