Abstract
Background: Palsy of the oculomotor nerve is rarely seen in children, and comprehensive guidelines for management and outcome are difficult to find. Case: Here we describe a 8 month old boy with left sided ptosis and infero-leteral deviation of left eye and normally reacting pupil and CSF antimeasles antibody titre negative. Outcome: The ptosis improved within 3 weeks with no residual neurodeficit. Message: Viral mononeuritis leading to partial 3rd nerve palsy is a rare entity in children till date.
