Resolution of third nerve paresis after endovascular management of aneurysms of the posterior communicating artery

D Birchall et al. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1999 Mar.

Abstract

The effect of endovascular treatment on the recovery of neural function in patients with third nerve palsy caused by an aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery is poorly documented. We report three cases in which third nerve paresis resolved completely within 2 to 3 weeks of endovascular occlusion of a posterior communicating artery aneurysm.
