A complete right oculomotor nerve palsy secondary to carotid cavernous fistula with a background of poorly controlled diabetes: a case report

Background: The coulometer or the third cranial nerve gives innervation to the four of the six extraocular muscles, namely the medial rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique. This cranial nerve is responsible for the upward and downward as well as adduction movement of the eyeball...
