Only 10 cases of oculomotor nerve neurinoma have been reported previously. The authors report the rarity of a neurinoma originating from Schwann cells of the oculomotor nerve. The diagnosis was based on the initial sign of oculomotor nerve paresis without involvement of other cranial nerves, neuroradiological and surgical findings, and histological features of the specimen obtained at surgery.
