DISTURBANCES OF OCULOMOTOR FUNCTION ACCOMPANYING EXTRADURAL HAEMORRHAGE

Abstract
Disturbances of oculomotor function accompanying extradural hemorrhage are due to deformation of the 3d nerve by tentorial herniation and consequent displacement and distortion of the midbrain. Involvement is at the "tentorial gap" bounded by the margin of the tentorial notch laterally, the dorsum sellae anteriorly and the brain stem posteriorly.
