Clinical Reasoning: A 74-Year-Old Woman Presenting With Monocular Ptosis and Binocular Diplopia.

A 74-year-old woman presented with acute-onset right ptosis and binocular diplopia. CT scan showed low-density lesions in the bilateral basal ganglia and adjacent to lateral ventricles. Intracranial aneurysm was not detected. This case highlights the importance of neurologic localization of ophthalmoplegia based on physical examination and the microanatomy of the oculomotor nerve.
