Summary
Diabetic third nerve palsy is often assumed with pupil-sparing presentations. However, this case shows a dorsal midbrain stroke mimicking diabetic neuropathy, emphasizing broader diagnostic considerations for this condition.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Ophthalmology
- Neuroimaging
Background:
- Pupil-sparing third nerve palsy is frequently misattributed to diabetic neuropathy.
- This common assumption can lead to delayed diagnosis of other critical underlying conditions.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation
135
Palpation involves feeling the body to evaluate texture, size, consistency, and tenderness for assessing cardiovascular health. The following steps are organized in a head-to-toe order:
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...

Anorexia Nervosa
32
Anorexia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of weight gain, an unrelenting pursuit of thinness, and a distorted body image. It often leads to dangerously low body weight relative to an individual's age and height. This disorder is marked by significant physical and psychological consequences, making it one of the most life-threatening psychiatric illnesses.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System II: Inspection
128
Inspection is the initial step in assessing the cardiovascular system. It involves a detailed visual examination that provides crucial information about a patient's circulatory and cardiac health. This systematic process, conducted from head to toe, helps identify signs of cardiovascular conditions by observing physical appearance, skin and mucous membranes, jugular and carotid pulsations, chest symmetry, and the condition of the extremities.
