Isolated trochlear nerve (cranial nerve IV) palsy in a patient with carotid-cavernous fistula

Isolated fourth cranial (trochlear) nerve palsy is an uncommon occulomotor nerve palsy typically secondary to ischemia, inflammation/infection, or mass effect. Due to its positioning within the cavernous sinus, pathology of the deep cerebral venous system would theoretically predispose to palsy of t...

description Isolated fourth cranial (trochlear) nerve palsy is an uncommon occulomotor nerve palsy typically secondary to ischemia, inflammation/infection, or mass effect. Due to its positioning within the cavernous sinus, pathology of the deep cerebral venous system would theoretically predispose to palsy of this nerve. We present a case of a patient presenting with isolated trochlear nerve palsy in the setting of angiographically-confirmed direct carotid-cavernous fistula.
