Abstract
Ten consecutive patients with acute relative pupillary sparing third n erve palsies were enrolled in a prospective study to determine the pre valence of intracranial aneurysm. All patients were imaged with either cerebral angiography or magnetic resonance angiography. None of the p atients demonstrated an intracranial aneurysm. The prevalence of aneur ysm in patients with relative pupillary sparing third nerve palsies ma y be low enough to preclude the use of routine angiography in this con dition.
