Isolated III cranial nerve palsy: a surprising presentation of an acute on chronic subdural haematoma

Abstract: Many aetiologies have been associated with isolated oculomotor nerve palsies. They are ischaemic microangiopathy, posterior communicating artery aneurysm, uncal herniation, neoplasia, traumatic and inflammatory conditions.

Coincidentally, this woman was also found to have a recent history of herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
