Abstract:
A etiologic analysis of 94 cases of the paralysis of the third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerves was made. There were 42 cases(44.7%) of sixth nerve paralysis. 39 cases(41.5%) of third nerve paralysis. 5 cases(5.3%) of fourth nerve paralysis and 8 cases(8.5%) of multiple cranial nerve paralysis. The most common cause was head trauma(46 cases). Other etiologic factors were undetermined(23 cases), neoplasm(5 cases), vascular desease(6 case), aneurysm(5 cases) and others(9 cases). The recovery rates of sixth, third, and fourth cranial nerve paralysis were 52%, 41%, 20%, respectively.
