A 78 year-old woman has experienced multiple episodes of transient right third nerve palsy over the course of 15 years and has undergone multiple imaging studies as well as investigations for myasthenia gravis and
giant cell arteritis
in search for the diagnosis. When seen after the most recent episode, MRI with contrast and Fast-Imaging Employing Steady-State Acquisition protocol revealed a subtle enlargement and enhancement of the cisternal and proximal cavernous portions of the right third cranial nerve. An empiric diagnosis of
schwannoma
intrinsic to third cranial nerve was made. All patients with cyclical third nerve palsies should have appropriate neuroimaging to rule out subtle structural lesions before other investigations are undertaken.
