Abstract
Traumatic third nerve palsy is an unusual condition. It is a serious prognostic feature, not for life but for permanent, serious neurological deficit. It can only be diagnosed with confidence if it is known to have been present from the moment of impact and if adequate investigation excludes a compressing haematoma.
