Health Encyclopedia: Cranial Mononeuropathy Iii Compression Type
Third cranial nerve palsy; Oculomotor palsy; Pupil-involving third cranial nerve palsy
Treatment
Some cases may resolve without treatment if the cause is benign. Treatment of the cause (if it can be identified) may relieve the symptoms in many cases. In some cases, corticosteroids may reduce swelling and relieve pressure on the nerve. Surgery may be appropriate to treat eye lid drooping or dysconjugate gaze.
