Third Cranial Nerve Palsy after a Chikungunya Virus Infection.

We report the case of a patient, aged 58 years, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who in 2013 developed an acute bilateral third cranial nerve palsy sparing the pupil. After extensive investigation, it was diagnosed as caused by chikungunya infection. The patient was treated with pulse therapy and after 5 months of the onset of the condition, the patient showed improvement. PMID: 29135313 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
