    Schwannoma-associated third nerve palsy: A pediatric case report
    (Elsevier, 2022-03-30) Moeller, Ashley A.; Sokol, Louis A.; Ho, Chang Y.; Neurology, School of Medicine
    Acquired third nerve palsies are infrequently seen in children, but are often associated with serious pathologies. This article presents a pediatric case of tumor-associated, isolated third nerve palsy, which took two years to diagnose. The patient initially presented with an isolated, dilated pupil and progressed over several months to a complete third nerve palsy. In this case, high-resolution neuroimaging eventually led to the diagnosis of a presumed schwannoma as the cause of her third nerve palsy. We review her case, the importance of high-resolution imaging, and management options.
