Abstract:
Two patients were presented with painful unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy and one of them was combined with trochlear nerve palsy. First case was initially thought to have diabetic opthalmoplegia, and second case was thought to have posterior communicating or distal internal carotid aneurysms. But both had, in fact dural carotid cavernous fistula, draining posteriorly into inferior petrosal sinus. Embolization was done in these two cases, which was followed by clinical improvement in one case.
