Abstract
We treated two patients with partial. oculomotor paresis who had pupil lary mydriasis, marked inferior rectus muscle weakness, and medial rec tus muscle paresis, which were attributed to an ipsilateral fascicular lesion, demonstrated on neuroimaging studies. These cases support the fascicular proximity of inferior rectus muscle and pupillary fibers a nd suggest that fascicular medial rectus and inferior rectus muscle fi bers are adjacent to each other.
