Cryptogenic oculomotor nerve palsies in children

Am J Ophthalmol. 1985 Jul 15;100(1):65-7. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9394(14)74984-0.

Abstract

We examined two cases of isolated, acquired, unremitting oculomotor palsies in children. The results of systemic, neurologic, and neuroradiologic investigations were normal. Both children were observed for more than two years and showed no additional signs or symptoms. Acquired isolated oculomotor palsies in some cases are not necessarily a harbinger of serious disease.
