Abstract
A 20-year-old man presented with fever, bilateral swelling of the cerv ical and inguinal lymph nodes, and splenomegaly. Later he noted diplop ia. CSF was unremarkable. High serum antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) were discovered. MRI revealed an abnormal lesion in the right th ird cranial nerve, which was considered to be the pathological lesion associated with his clinically apparent oculomotor nerve dysfunction.
