Description

Rathod Saiharshini and co-authors report a rare eye blow from tuberculous brain infection in a 2026 case paper. A 70 year old man with type 2 diabetes came in with fever, headache, and clouded mind. He then lost lid lift and eye motion on both sides, a paired third nerve palsy.

Scans showed scattered tuberculomas, a midbrain lesion at the third nerve core, and fluid buildup in the head. Sixth nerve harm is the usual eye mark of this infection, which makes the paired third nerve hit rare. Early scan and sign matching drove the care call.
