Abstract
Amongst clinicians the diagnostic approach differs to patients presenting with isolated third cranial nerve palsy. Some issues remain controversial and the management of this condition is a challenge. In a 38-year-old male presenting with pupil-involving oculomotor nerve palsy (internal dysfunction) the cause was found to be a double posterior communicating artery; a very rare cause of third nerve palsy.
