  • Title: Intracavernous carotid aneurysm--an unusual cause of isolated abducens nerve palsy.
    Author: O'Dell KB, Gordon RS.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 1990 Sep; 19(9):1063-5. PubMed ID: 2393172.
    Abstract:
    We discuss the case of a 59-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with complaints of diplopia for five days. Physical examination disclosed an isolated complete right abducens nerve palsy. Angiography revealed a giant aneurysm from the postcavernous portion of the right internal carotid artery. This case illustrates an unusual etiology of a unilateral abducens nerve palsy.
