Two Cases of Oculomotor Nerve Palsy in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and a Literature Review

Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by elevated intracranial pressure in the absence of a secondary cause. Classically, it presents with headache, visual obscurations, pulsatile tinnitus, and diplopia, most commonly due to abducens nerve palsy. Involvement of other cranial nerves is rare.
