In congenital third nerve palsy, the function in four of the six extraocular muscles is compromised, and its treatment is the most difficult problem in paralytic strabismus. In general, either large recession and resection on horizontal rectus muscles or superior oblique muscle transposition is used for treatment. We compared the results of the two methods of surgical therapy. A Total of nine eyes in nine cases underwent surgical correction for ocular alignment in the primary position, In four eyes of four cases horizontal rectus muscle surgery was performed. In five eyes of five cases superior oblique muscle transposition was performed. Postoperatively, one of four cases who underwent horizontal rectus muscle surgery and four of five cases who underwent superior obique muscle transposition resulted in acceptable ocular alignment, in which the angle of deviation at the primary position was within 2 delta. Therefore, in the treatment of congenital third nerve palsy, superior oblique muscle transposition is more effective than horizontal rectus muscle surgery for the correction of ocular alignment.

The authors performed frontalis sling operation using autogenous levator muscle transposition for ptotic lid between February, 1989 and March, 1993. Four cases were Marcus-Gunn ptosis and one case was paralytic ptosis with aberrant regeneration in patient with oculomotor nerve palsy. The postoperative surgical results were satisfactory cosmetically.

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.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a well-known disorder improving with conservative treatment or epidural blood patch in the majority of cases. However, SIH may develop neurological complications such as cranial nerve palsy, subdural hematoma, and altered consciousness. Subdural hematoma in SIH is usually found during intracranial hypotension state and delayed subdural hematoma is rarely reported. We report a case of delayed subdural hematoma and oculomotor nerve palsy after improving spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

The authors report two cases of aneurysms of basilar bifurcation approached by modified frontolateral transsylvian route: each aneurysm was clipped successfully through the space between internal carotid artery and posterior communicating artery in case 1 and the space between internal carotid artery, posterior communicating artery and oculomotor nerve in case 2. Historical background and surgical approaches are discussed.
