[Oculomotor paralysis in disseminated lupus erythematosis]

The inferior oblique isolated damage in the systemic lupus erythematosus is being described. The ocular palsies are few and exceptionally isolated. Few studies have been published on the damage topography which can relate to micro-infarcts, or focal vasculitis. The involvement is either central or peripheral. The diagnosis by NMR is more reliable than by TDM.
