Oculomotor nerve palsy following submucosal diathermy to the inferior turbinates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2006
Abstract
Submucosal diathermy to the inferior turbinates is a common surgical procedure performed to improve the nasal airway. We present the case of a previously well six-year-old boy who underwent submucosal diathermy and developed the unusual complication of a left oculomotor nerve palsy. The possible aetiology is discussed.
