Sample Neuro-ophthalmology Questions
A patient has ptosis and an eye deviated "down and out" (all features of 3rd cranial nerve palsy), but the pupil is normal and reactive ("pupil-sparing"). This pattern is most typical of a lesion of the:
- A.Compressive lesion of CN III such as a posterior communicating artery aneurysm
- B.Optic (CN II) nerve
- C.Trochlear (CN IV) nerve
- D.Vasa nervorum of CN III (microvascular/ischemic infarction, e.g. from diabetes)
- E.Abducens (CN VI) nerve
Within the cavernous sinus, the cranial nerve lying free in the sinus lumen, inferomedial to the internal carotid artery (rather than in the lateral wall), is the:
- A.Abducens nerve (CN VI)
- B.Maxillary division of trigeminal (V2)
- C.Oculomotor nerve (CN III)
- D.Ophthalmic division of trigeminal (V1)
- E.Trochlear nerve (CN IV)
A patient cannot move one eye laterally (abduct) past the midline, with the eye resting in adduction. This is most consistent with palsy of the:
- A.Oculomotor nerve (CN III)
- B.Facial nerve (CN VII)
- C.Trigeminal nerve (CN V)
- D.Abducens nerve (CN VI), innervating the lateral rectus
- E.Trochlear nerve (CN IV)
