Abstract

The patient presented with transient diplopia and ptosis. There are 38 such cases reported in the literature. In most of these cases the lesion is located in cistern or cavernous sinus. The spatial relationship of the tumor, oculomotor nerve and surrounding arteries was clearly demonstrated by using three dimensional magnetic resonance imaging sequences.
