| 1. | :Oculomotor nerve originates in the midbrain and innervates several eye muscles.
|
| 2. | The inferior oblique is innervated by the inferior branch of the oculomotor nerve.
|
| 3. | The uncus can squeeze the oculomotor nerve ( a . k . a.
|
| 4. | This is because Horner's syndrome and oculomotor nerve lesions both cause ptosis.
|
| 5. | These cases may be due to brain mass lesions which cause oculomotor nerve palsy.
|
| 6. | Diabetic neuropathy of the oculomotor nerve in a majority of cases does not affect the pupil.
|
| 7. | A brain catastrophe, or a rapidly increasing brain mass, can cause compression of the oculomotor nerve.
|
| 8. | Convergence is classically spared as cranial nerve III ( oculomotor nerve ) and its nucleus is spared bilaterally.
|
| 9. | The nuclei of the oculomotor nerve ( III ) and trochlear nerve ( IV ) are located in the midbrain.
|
| 10. | Since the oculomotor nerve controls most of the eye muscles, it may be easier to detect damage to it.
