“…It has been shown that risk factors of developing ischaemic microvascular ocular palsy include diabetes mellitus, age more than 50 years, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and smoking 18. With chronic history of hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia our 84-year-old patient could have suffered an ischaemic microvascular oculomotor nerve palsy.…”

“…Various causes of ONP have been described in several studies, for instance ischemia, compression from aneurysm or tumor, and trauma. [1][2][3][4] Ischemia was the most common etiology with spontaneous recovery, and it was presumed based on some helpful clinical clues before imaging became available. 2,3,5,6 Nowadays, high quality neuroimaging studies, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and angiogram, have played a more important role aiding the diagnosis.…”

Consequently, more serious but treatable causes were identified including intracranial aneurysm, tumor, inflammation, infection, and brain stem infarction.…”
