  • Title: Abducens nerve palsy in a girl with incomplete Kawasaki disease.
    Author: Emiroglu M, Alkan G, Kartal A, Cimen D.
    Journal: Rheumatol Int; 2016 Aug; 36(8):1181-3. PubMed ID: 27329470.
    Abstract:
    Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that can involve the nervous system, including the cranial nerves. Central nervous system findings, especially irritability, lethargy, and aseptic meningitis, occur in 1-30 % of KD patients (1). Cranial nerve palsies are seen rarely, and abducens nerve palsy has been reported in only three children. We describe a 2.5-year-old girl with incomplete KD who developed transient abducens nerve palsy after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment.
