Abstract
Background: Oculomotor weakness is one of the common problems encountered in day-to-day practice. The most common causes include diabetes mellitus and posterior communicating artery aneurysm. Objective: Dyslipidemia with hyper-triglyceridemia has not been previously reported as an independent cause of ischemic oculomotor palsy. Materials and Methods: Here we report a case of pupil-sparing isolated oculomotor palsy which was found to be due to very high triglyceride levels. Results: The patient was treated conservatively with hypo-lipidemic drugs and improved after treatment.
