A 64-year-old man presented with the acute onset of unilateral blindness and ipsilateral ocular motor paresis. Occlusion of the central retinal artery associated with thrombosis of the internal carotid artery in the cavernous sinus was demonstrated by angiography and magnetic resonance imaging. Cases of carotid thrombosis associated with ipsilateral ocular motor paresis are rare. The pathophysiology of intracavernous carotid thrombosis is discussed in connection with blood supply of the cranial nerves in the cavernous sinus.

We report four patients who sustained direct injury to the brain after insertion of intraventricular shunts and pressure monitoring lines, which resulted in permanent neuro-ophthalmic deficits. These included hemianopsia from an optic tract lesion, esotropia and residual bilateral facial paresis from dorsal pontine injury, unilateral blindness from damage to the optic nerve, and dorsal midbrain syndrome from catheter compression in the region of the posterior commissure. Although presumably rare, such injuries should be considered in diagnosing patients with neuro-ophthalmic complaints after insertion of such devices.
