Isolated third cranial nerve ophthalmoparesis, an atypical form of presentation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.: Ophthalmoparesis of the third cranial nerve a rare presentation in non-Hodgkins lymphoma

We present a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with isolated ophthalmoparesis of the III cranial pair. We describe the clinical, radiological and analytical characteristics of the cerebrospinal fluid that made the diagnosis difficult, in a 55-year-old man with C virus carriage, hepatocarcinom...

We describe the clinical, radiological and analytical characteristics of the cerebrospinal fluid that made the diagnosis difficult, in a 55-year-old man with C virus carriage, hepatocarcinoma in remission and ethylism. He presented with isolated right third cranial nerve palsy, with pupillary involvement. The initial MRI showed increased thickness and enhancement of this nerve. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed no pathological findings. In the following months, due to clinical progression, the MRI was repeated and showed evidence of extension of the lesion. New CSF samples showed pleocytosis and hyperproteinorrachia, with negative cytology, cultures and flow cytometry. A biopsy was decided which revealed type B non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We conducted a literature search where we found to date 12 cases of isolated paralysis of the third pair as clinical presentation of this type of lymphoma, being a rare form and to be considered in certain patients. Presentamos un paciente con Linfoma no Hodgkin con oftalmoparesia aislada del III par craneal. Describimos las características clínicas, radiológicas y analíticas del líquido cefalorraquídeo que dificultó el diagnóstico, en un hombre de 55 años con portación de virus C, hepatocarcinoma en remisión y de etilismo. Presentaba una parálisis aislada del III par craneal derecho, con afectación pupilar. La resonancia magnética inicial mostró aumento del espesor y realce de dicho nervio. El análisis del líquido cefalorraquídeo no mostró hallazgos patológicos. En los meses subsiguientes por progresión clínica se repite resonancia que evidencia extensión de la lesión. En nuevas muestras de LCR se observa pleocitosis e hiperproteinorraquía, con citología, cultivos y citometría de flujo negativas. Se decide biopsia que revela Linfoma no Hodgkin tipo B. Realizamos una búsqueda bibliográfica donde encontramos a la fecha 12 casos de parálisis aislada del III par como presentación clínica de este tipo de Linfoma, siendo una forma rara y a pensar en ciertos pacientes.
