Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Oculomotor Nerve Injuries:

1.	PapaverineIBA 04/01/1994 - "These observations suggest that a dilated, nonreactive pupil subsequent to an uncomplicated pterional craniotomy for aneurysm, in which oculomotor nerve trauma has not occurred, may not be an ominous finding but may represent a transient phenomenon related to intracisternal papaverine injection."
2.	Horseradish PeroxidaseIBA 06/01/1986 - "We studied the distribution of somatic motor neurons innervating the cat superior rectus 3-6 months after oculomotor nerve injury using intramuscular horseradish peroxidase (HRP). " 06/01/1986 - "Retrograde horseradish peroxidase transport after oculomotor nerve injury."
3.	Botulinum Toxins (Botulinum Toxin)IBA 10/01/2008 - "Botulinum toxin injection into the lateral rectus muscle may provide temporary relief of symptoms in some patients and seems to be a useful treatment option in cases of acute traumatic third nerve palsy in the short-term." 10/01/2008 - "The role of Botulinum toxin in management of acute traumatic third-nerve palsy."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Craniotomy 04/01/2011 - "Oculomotor nerve injury is a common complication of cranial trauma and craniotomy. " 04/01/1994 - "These observations suggest that a dilated, nonreactive pupil subsequent to an uncomplicated pterional craniotomy for aneurysm, in which oculomotor nerve trauma has not occurred, may not be an ominous finding but may represent a transient phenomenon related to intracisternal papaverine injection."
2.	Nerve Transfer 08/01/2003 - "After oculomotor nerve injury, when the central nerve stump is not available, neurotization of the distal nerve stump with a donor nerve may be performed. "
3.	Surgical Instruments (Clip) 11/15/2012 - "Together, these data verified that the model for oculomotor nerve injury was successful, and that the forceps we designed can be used to establish standard mechanical injury models of peripheral nerves. "
