Abstract
A 59 yr old man developed bilateral total ophthalmoplegia with trigeminal hypesthesia immediately after the placement of burr holes for drainage of a subdural hematoma. Metastatic lung carcinoma to both cavernous sinuses was suspected, eventually proven and confirmed postmortem.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
