Abstract

Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) is rare. The major causes are aneurysm of the posterior communicating artery, microvascular ischemia, neoplasm, inflammation and trauma. The present study reports the case of a 72‑year‑old female with left isolated pupil‑sparing ONP and severe anemia as the initial manifestations of gastric diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Systemic chemotherapy without any central nervous system (CNS)‑directed treatment led to a complete resolution of the ONP, suggesting that it was most likely to be a paraneoplastic phenomenon. If CNS involvement cannot be demonstrated by brain magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid assessment, the present case suggests that it may be acceptable to omit CNS‑directed therapy in such cases of ONP, since it may be paraneoplastic in nature and may resolve following successful treatment of the underlying malignancy.
