Descriptor Spanish: Enfermedades del Nervio Oculomotor
Descriptor enfermedades del nervio oculomotor
Entry term(s) enfermedades del III nervio craneal
parálisis del tercer nervio
parálisis del tercer par craneal
Scope note: Enfermedades del nervio o núcleo oculomotor que producen debilidad o parálisis del recto superior, recto inferior, recto medio, oblicuo inferior, o músculo elevador palpebral, o trastornos de la inervación parasimpática de la pupila. En la parálisis oculomotora completa, el párpado se paraliza, el ojo esta en posición inferior y abducción y con acusada dilatación pupilar. Las afecciones que se asocian comúnmente incluyen neoplasias, TRAUMATISMO CRANEOENCEFÁLICO, isquemia (especialmente en asociación con DIABETES MELLITUS) y compresión de un aneurisma.

Scope note: Diseases of the oculomotor nerve or nucleus that result in weakness or paralysis of the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique, or levator palpebrae muscles, or impaired parasympathetic innervation to the pupil. With a complete oculomotor palsy, the eyelid will be paralyzed, the eye will be in an abducted and inferior position, and the pupil will be markedly dilated. Commonly associated conditions include neoplasms, CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, ischemia (especially in association with DIABETES MELLITUS), and aneurysmal compression. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p270)
Annotation: do not confuse entry term OCULOMOTOR NERVE PALSY with oculomotor palsies caused by weakened 4th or 6th cranial nerves which are indexed: 4th= TROCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES and 6th= ABDUCENS NERVE DISEASES, if not specified use CRANIAL NERVE DISEASES; neoplasms: coordinate with CRANIAL NERVE NEOPLASMS + histologic type of neoplasm; do not confuse with OCULOMOTOR PARALYSIS see OPHTHALMOPLEGIA
