A STUDY OF ETIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH LMN CRANIAL NERVE PALSY IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTER AT THANJAVUR MEDICAL COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL

Background: Neurological presentation with isolated/multiple cranial nerve palsy is normal and its different causes incorporate infection, autoimmune, neoplastic, and inflammatory pathologies. The etiological range may rely on geological areas. We attempted this study to investigate the clinical range and etiological profile of numerous cranial nerve palsy. Materials and methods: This planned observational study was led from January 2020 to January 2021. All the patients with cranial nerve palsy coming to the neurology OPD were taken for examinations. Essential targets were to characterize anatomical disorder/cranial nerve combinations and to set up etiology. The primary goals were to examine related components. Patients with neuromuscular junction disorder, anterior horn cell disease, myopathies, first and second cranial nerve dysfunction were excluded from the study. All patients went through an organized convention of clinical assessment, examinations, and few particular examinations as per clinical protocol for analysis. Results: Cavernous sinus was the commonest anatomical condition of different cranial nerve paralyses and tuberculous disease was the commonest cause in this investigation.7th cranial nerve was the common isolated nerve involved with idiopathic ethology, diabetes was the most common cause overall found with third nerve involvement.
