Özet
A 48-year-old man presented with left ptosis and double vision. Laboratory test findings indicated acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Lymphoblastic infiltration of both cavernous sinuses was observed on pituitary gland magnetic resonance imaging. Leukemias may present by many clinical conditions, but isolated cranial nerve palsy is very rare. To our knowledge, this is the first case of ALL presenting with oculomotor nerve palsy. Clinicians should consider oculomotor nerve palsy as the first ALL indication.
