3. Oculomotor Palsy (3rd Nerve Palsy)
• Oculomotor nerve palsy is an eye condition
resulting from damage to the third cranial nerve
or a branch
• The Oculomotor nerve supplies the majority of
the muscles controlling eye movements
• In a complete Oculomotor nerve palsy, the
affected eye will normally be in a down and out
position relative to the other eye
• The affected eye will also have a ptosis, or
drooping of the eyelid, and pupil dilation
4. Types of Oculomotor Palsy
Congenital Oculomotor
Palsy
Acquired Oculomotor palsy
Vascular disorders
Lesions or Tumors
Inflammation or Infection
Trauma
Demylenating Disease
AIDS
Post Operative Neurosurgery
Symptoms
Ptosis
Downward and
Outward positioning of
Eye
Unable to adduct,
infraduct, supraduct
Dilated pupil with
sluggish reaction

32. Goals of Therapy
• To relive presenting signs and symptoms
• To rule out the underlying etiology
• To prevent further progression and
complication of the disease
• To align the eye surgically*
• To improve health related quality of life
(*) : Optional
33. Treatment Options
Pharmacological:
• NSAID’s
• Corticosteroids
Non Pharmacological:
• Patching of Eye
• Using Prism Lens Spectacles
Surgical:
• Eye muscle surgery (Strabismus Surgery)
• Lid lift surgery (Blepharoplasty)
• Clipping, Gluing, Coiling, wrapping of Aneurysms*
34.
35. Goals Achieved
• Patient was started on symptomatic
pharmacotherapy
• Patient symptoms improved before he was
discharged
36. Problems Identified
•
•
•
•
Use of Cefoperazone + Sulbactum
Use of IV Proton Pump Inhibitor
Untreated indication: Hypertension
Monitoring Error: Lipid Profile not done
Clinical Pharmacy Services Provided
Drug Information: Oral Proton Pump inhibitors Vs. IV Proton Pump Inhibitors
Intervention:
• Use of IV proton pump inhibitors
• Untreated indication – Hypertension

palsy?
About
Medications
– Name and purpose
– Dose and frequency
– Medication adherence
– Possible adverse effects
– Missed dose
– Caution with
Corticosteroids
40. About Lifestyle modifications
• Patient should avoid driving
• Patient should keep an eye patch to cover the affected eye
• Using 1 eye will impair 1/3 of the vision and patient may not be
able to judge depth and height so be careful in making any
judgment
• Patient should wear prism lenses to avoid Diplopia
• Patient Should avoid consuming alcohol as it can precipitate the
ischemic neuropathy
• Patient should reduce the salt intake and fatty food in order to
reduce the blood pressure.
• Patient should take sufficient rest
• Patient should be counseled about cosmetic issues related to
Oculomotor palsy and can be prepared for strabismus surgery*
