Abstract

The authors present a case of a 48-year-old woman with nonspecific headaches followed by right eye ptosis, motility limitation, enlarged pupil and diplopia. The patient presented no other systemic diseases. In the family history, death of father and sister at an early age was stated for an unknown reason. In the neurological and ophthalmological examination, the right oculomotor nerve palsy was revealed. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography confirmed the presence of the aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery. The patient underwent an endovascular procedure – aneurysm coiling. The authors review literature in the subject of oculomotor nerve palsy and intracranial aneurysms.
