| Abstract: | In a 55-year-old woman with classic migraine, paresis of the superior division of the right oculomotor nerve occurred twice after subcutaneous injections of sumatriptan. Each paresis disappeared within 2 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head was normal. Sumatriptan injections were discontinued, and ocular motility problems ceased. Use of sumatriptan for migraine should be considered in the diagnosis of transient, pupil-sparing, oculomotor nerve palsies in the absence of other microvascular risk factors. |
