    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy is uncommon in pediatric patients.
    • Ophthalmoplegic migraine (OM), characterized by third nerve weakness, is a rare complication of vascular headaches, particularly in young children.

    Observation:

    • A case study involved a 12-month-old female infant presenting with ophthalmoplegic migraine.
    • The infant exhibited symptoms consistent with third nerve palsy.

    Findings:

    • The pediatric patient with ophthalmoplegic migraine demonstrated a positive response to propranolol therapy.
    • This suggests propranolol may be an effective treatment for OM in very young children.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of OM in infants and the potential efficacy of beta-blockers.
    • Further research is warranted to explore propranolol's role in managing pediatric ophthalmoplegic migraine.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention may improve outcomes for children with OM.
