  • Title: Ecchordosis physaliphora presenting with abducens nerve palsy.
    Author: Ahn SS, Han J.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2016 Jun; 20(3):266-8. PubMed ID: 27060668.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of sudden-onset abducens nerve palsy in a 15-year-old boy with ecchordosis physaliphora, a benign retroclival remnant that is usually asymptomatic. Most reported symptomatic cases have been treated with resection via craniotomy or endoscopic resection. Our patient recovered after a short course of oral corticosteroids, but the abducens nerve palsy recurred 6 months later.
