Recurrent Third Nerve Paresis with Migraine: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Ophthalmoplegic migraine (OM), first described by Charcot in 1870, is a disorder characterised by recurrent episodes of migraine associated with ophthalmoplegia. It has been extensively described in children and is rarer in adults. Commonly, the third nerve is affected with pupillary involvement and, more rarely, the fourth or the sixth nerve.
