Endovascular treatment of oculomotor nerve palsy caused by unruptured aneurysm of posterior communicating artery:an analysis of therapeutic effects / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of endovascular management for oculomotor nerve palsy caused by unruptured aneurysm of posterior communicating artery.Methods Endovascular treatment was carried out in 11 patients with oculomotor nerve palsy due to unruptured aneurysm of posterior communicating artery.The choice of the therapeutic opportune moment and the treatment way were retrospectively evaluated.The relationship between the therapeutic results and the treatment time and way was analyzed.Results Of the 11 patients,complete recovery of oculomotor nerve palsy was obtained in 10(90.91%) and partial recovery in one(9.09%).Conclusion Oculomotor nerve palsy cause by unruptured aneurysm of posterior communicating artery can be effectively treated by endovascular management,and the recovery of oculomotor nerve function depends on the time to take treatment and the degree of nerve palsy.
