Abstract:

Oculomotor nerve neurinoma not associated with neurofibromatosis type II is an extremely rare pathology. According to the topography, cisternal, cisternocavernous, cavernous, orbitocavernous, and orbital tumor groups are distinguished. The clinical picture of the disease is characterized mainly by either oculomotor disorders or pyramidal symptoms, depending on the tumor localization. Neurinomas of the oculomotor nerve rarely occur without oculomotor disorders. However, in some patients with these tumors, the third nerve function remains intact. In this paper, we present clinical cases of two patients with oculomotor nerve neurinomas and analyze the relevant literature.
