Abstract
Spontaneous brainstem hemorrhage accounts for 5%–10% of intracerebral hemorrhage. Vascular diseases in the midbrain can cause oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) often associated with other neurological signs. Isolated ONP due to hemorrhagic stroke restricted to the midbrain is considered to be rare. We report the case of a 54 years old women admitted with isolated third nerve palsy secondary to a midbrain hematoma.
