Bilateral common carotid artery ligation (BCCAL) increases vertebrobasilar blood flow and leads to increased luminal pressure, luminal enlargement, wall thinning, convolutions and sometimes aneurysm formation in posterior circulation arteries, especially the posterior communicating arteries (PcomA). PcomA aneurysms compress the oculomotor nerves.

Agenesis of internal carotid artery presenting with oculomotor nerve palsy after minor head injury
Abstract We report a patient with unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery in whom the oculomotor nerve was paralyzed on the same side as the agenesis after a minor head injury. It is conceivable that the palsy was caused by sudden tension of the nerve between the petroclinoid ligament and the enlarged posterior communicating ...

The oculomotor nerve can regenerate anatomically and histologically after injury; however, the degree of functional recovery of extraocular muscles and the pupil sphincter muscle was not satisfactory. Electrostimulation was one potential intervention that was increasingly being studied for use in nerve injury settings.

Direct injury of the oculomotor nerve in craniocerebral trauma
✓ Twelve cases with direct injury of the oculomotor nerve are presented. The clinical symptoms resemble those of an oculomotor nerve lesion associated with an expanding supratentorial mass lesion with uncal herniation. The clinical signs and mechanism of injury are discussed.

Optic Nerve, Visual Pathways, Oculomotor System, and Consequences of Intracranial Injury
The sequelae of neuro-ophthalmic injury are varied, including decreased visual acuity, limitation of ocular motility, visual field deficits, and impairment of visual processing. The neuro-ophthalmic status of a trauma patient should be carefully reviewed following high impact trauma, especially in cases of head injury.

Clinical Outcome of Mild Head Injury with Isolated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy
Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy after mild head injury is rare. Only a few case reports have described the clinical presentation of these patients, and clinical and functional outcome have not been discussed in depth. The outcome of 10 patients with mild head injury in whom imaging studies ruled out other possible causes of oculomotor palsy was ...

A 24-year-old woman was hit by a bus and suffered an isolated complete oculomotor nerve palsy. Computed tomography scan did not show a skull base fracture. T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed petechial cerebral hemorrhages sparing the brainstem.

Pupillary light reflex examinations are intrinsic to any good neurological examination. Consistent evidence has shown that automated pupillometry assessments provide superior accuracy and interrater correlation compared with bedside eye examinations. Pupillary indexes such as the neurological pupil index (NPI) can also provide several hours of warning ...

[Primary oculomotor nerve palsy due to head injury: analysis of 10 cases].
Ten cases of primary oculomotor nerve palsy due to head injury are presented. All ten patients had a dilated, non reactive pupil. Seven had complete oculomotor palsy. Two had partial extraocular palsy or blepharoptosis and one had neither extraocular palsy nor blepharoptosis. The initial ophthalmoplegia was recognized immediately after trauma.
