Third nerve palsies that result from head injuries or intracranial aneurysms may sometimes show symptoms of aberrant regeneration and only partially heal.

The parasympathetic fibres are usually spared from a vasculopathic lesion and impacted by compressive lesions because they are situated in the peripheral segment of the oculomotor nerve as it leaves the brain stem.
