Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy in infectious mononucleosis

Abstract

An unusual neurological complication of infectious mononucleosis was reported in which an isolated partial right oculomotor nerve palsy unaccompanied by changes in the cerebro-splnal fluid preceded involvement of the reticuloendothelial system by a month. It was suggested that in cases of acquired oculomotor nerve palsies of undetermined cause a heterophile agglutination test be performed.
