La parálisis aislada del nervio motor ocular común es un síntoma raro en los hematomas subdurales crónicos (HSDC) y excepcional si lo consideramos como forma de presentación. Comunicamos el caso de un paciente con HSDC que presentó como comienzo una parálisis completa del tercer par craneal, con nivel de conciencia conservado y recuperación completa de su déficit tras la intervención quirúrgica. Consideramos que el resangrado en el interior de la cavidad del hematoma, favorecido por la toma de antiagregantes plaquetarios, pudo provocar esta sintomatología de herniación uncal. En estos casos está indicada la intervención quirúrgica urgente.
Isolated oculomotor palsy is an unusual symptom in chronic subdural hematomas and it is very rare as initial manifestation. We report a patient with a chronic subdural hematoma that presented with a complete third nerve palsy and normal consciousness. Complete recovery was achieved after surgical evacuation. Rebleeding within the hematoma cavity, most possibly favored by antiaggregating agents, was considered responsible for this rare presentation. In these cases expeditious surgical evacuation is indicated.
