Abstract
A case of interposed nerve graft repair of an oculomotor nerve damaged during surgery for a laterally growing retrosellar pituitary adenoma is reported. The patient showed partial but functionally useful recovery of nerve function and was able to resume professional work. Only a few reports of end-to-end repair have been published, and they indicate that partial return of nerve function can be expected in such cases.
Keywords: Oculomotor nerve repair using interposed nerve graft.
