Am J Ophthalmol. 1980 Mar;89(3):446-8. doi: 10.1016/0002-9394(80)90019-7.

Abstract

A 17-month-old healthy boy had a rapid onset of right oculomotor nerve palsy, and spontaneous recovery after measles immunization. Results of computed tomography scan, skull x-ray, chest x-ray, intravenous pyelogram, and bone marrow examination were all normal. Serum antibody titers showed effective measles immunization.
