Extraocular motor nerve palsies: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

The most characteristic clinical effect of extraocular motor nerve palsies is diplopia of recent onset, which varies in different visual fields, depending on the muscles affected.

Typically, the patient with third nerve palsy exhibits ptosis, exotropia (eye looks outward), pupil dilation, and unresponsiveness to light; the eye is unable to move and can’t accommodate.

The patient with fourth nerve palsy displays diplopia and an inability to rotate the eye downward or upward. The head is tilted to the side opposite the involved area in superior oblique palsy.

Sixth nerve palsy causes one eye to turn; the eye can’t abduct beyond the midline. To compensate for diplopia, the patient turns his head to the unaffected side and can develop torticollis.
