Calvarial-orbital Metastasis of Prostate Carcinoma which was Diagnosed with Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsy

Sixth nerve palsy is frequently due to infectious orbital lesions, trauma, elevated intracranial pressure, brainstem lesions, and vasculopathies. Here, we describe a rare cause of sixth cranial nerve (CN) palsy secondary to calvarial and orbital metastasis of prostate carcinoma. The diagnosis of the...

description Sixth nerve palsy is frequently due to infectious orbital lesions, trauma, elevated intracranial pressure, brainstem lesions, and vasculopathies. Here, we describe a rare cause of sixth cranial nerve (CN) palsy secondary to calvarial and orbital metastasis of prostate carcinoma. The diagnosis of the prostate carcinoma with sixth CN palsy is a very rare condition. A 66-year-old male patient presented with complaints of blurred vision, double vision, and inability to move outward in the right eye for 3 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right orbitocalvarial mass and the mass surgically removed completely. Pathologic findings were compatible with prostate adenocarcinoma metastasis. After surgical removal, significant improvement in sixth CN palsy was observed.
