Summary

This study reports a rare case of bilateral congenital third cranial nerve palsy in an infant. Surgical interventions were performed, and imaging suggested a brainstem lesion as the likely cause.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Congenital third cranial nerve palsy is a rare condition affecting eye movement and eyelid position.
  • Bilateral involvement is exceptionally uncommon, presenting unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Observation:

  • A patient diagnosed with bilateral congenital third cranial nerve palsy at two weeks of age.
  • Ptosis was addressed with eyelid suspension surgery at three weeks.
  • Exotropia was surgically repaired at four months of age.

Findings:

  • This represents the fourth reported case of this specific condition.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested a singular brainstem lesion impacting the oculomotor and potentially trochlear nuclei.
  • MRI also indicated the presence of additional central nervous system anomalies.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the limited understanding of bilateral congenital third cranial nerve palsy.
  • The findings support the hypothesis of a localized brainstem lesion causing this complex neurological deficit.
  • Further investigation into associated central nervous system anomalies is warranted for comprehensive patient care.
