Pupil-Involving Third-Nerve Palsy and Carotid Stenosis:Rapid Recovery Following Endarterectomy
Ann Neurol 41:273-276, Balcer,L.J.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a patient who presented with a painful pupil-involving third- nerve palsy.Cerebral angiography revealed a high-grade stenosis of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery with a 4-cm intraluminal thrombus. Following emergent carotid endarterectomy,the patient's partial third- nerve palsy resolved in 1 hour.A pupil-involving third-nerve palsy may be an unusual presentation of impending carotid occlusion.
