Peri-mesencephalic subarachnoid haemorrhage (PMSAH) is considered to be a clinically benign subset of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Cranial nerve palsies have been previously reported as rare sequelae of PMSAH. Herein, we report an unusual case of multiple cranial nerve palsies as a presenting feature of PMSAH and a review of the literature for cranial nerve palsies post-PMSAH.

Isolated abducens nerve palsy (IANP), caused by secondary communicating hydrocephalus, has been rarely documented; in addition, its mechanism and appropriate treatment are not understood well. This study presents a case of bilateral IANP with hydrocephalus in a 62-year-old man who was successfully treated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion to correct an enlarged retroclival space during the follow-up of recurrent brain tumor in the right parieto-occipital lobe. The patient was treated with three resections, temozolomide, and irradiation before developing IANP.

Background: Isolated sphenoid sinus fungal mucoceles are extremely rare and potentially associated with visual disturbances, cranial nerve (CN) deficits, or pituitary dysfunction. Their initial symptoms are often absent or nonspecific, and routine examination offers little information, resulting in diagnostic and therapeutic delays. A high index of suspicion and a thorough understanding of their clinical presentation, neuroradiological features, microbiological implications, and complication profile are crucial for early diagnosis and prompt management.

The therapy options in sixth nerve palsies include monitoring with or without conservative treatment, botulinum toxin injections or strabismus surgery. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare botulinum toxin (BT) injections into the medial rectus to conservative treatment in sixth nerve palsies.
