Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion Causing Acute Cranial Neuropathies.

A 54-year-old male with a history of left posterior parietal ischemic stroke, epilepsy, tobacco and marijuana smoking, and alcohol abuse, presented with acute left visual loss and diplopia. On examination, he had reduced left visual acuity and a left oculomotor nerve palsy. CT angiogram from aortic arch to circle of Willis identified extensive thrombus occluding the left common and internal carotid arteries, extending to the left ophthalmic artery. This case demonstrates acute visual loss from ophthalmic artery occlusion, and left oculomotor nerve palsy from occlusion of the inferolateral trunk of the internal carotid artery (cavernous sinus portion).
