Oculomotor Nerve Palsy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Oculomotor paralysis is the involvement of the nerve that controls most of the eye's movements and the raising of the eyelid. When it fails, the eye does not move normally in certain directions.
Common symptoms: double vision, drooping of the eyelid, outward deviation of the eye and, in some cases, changes in pupil size.
When to seek care? Sudden-onset double vision or the abrupt drooping of an eyelid should be evaluated promptly, sometimes urgently.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist studies the cause of oculomotor paralysis; the general practitioner can guide the first contact, the endocrinologist takes part when metabolic causes are suspected, and the emergency physician handles acute cases. If you notice these signs, evaluating them in time is the most advisable course.
