Giant intracavernous aneurysm: rare cause of isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy in a child. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A boy, aged 7 1/2 years, developed a sixth cranial nerve palsy for which no cause was found until 8 1/2 years later, when he developed a rapidly progressive ophthalmoplegia. A giant intracavernous aneurysm was then demonstrated on carotid angiography and successfully treated by carotid ligation. Radioisotope techniques were of value in diagnosis and follow-up.
