Ophthalmoplegic migraine: reversible enhancement and thickening of the cisternal segment of the oculomotor nerve on contrast-enhanced MR images.

摘要

Ophthalmoplegic migraine is a rare condition characterized by the association of headaches and an oculomotor nerve palsy. We report six patients with typical clinical features of this disorder in whom enhancement of the cisternal segment of the oculomotor nerve developed during the acute phase, followed by resolution of enhancement over several weeks as the symptoms resolved.
