Oculomotor outcomes of cranial nerve palsy in patients with skull base tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Skull base tumors, can cause oculomotor dysfunction, presenting a management challenge given their proximity to cranial nerves. This study investigated the oculomotor outcomes in patients with skull base tumors presenting cranial nerve palsy due to tumor compression and aimed to identify associated factors.

Methods

This retrospective observational cohort study enrolled patients diagnosed with primary skull base tumors who exhibited cranial nerve palsy due to tumor compression, confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging treated at Asan Medical Center between January 2011 and December 2022. Patients were assessed for oculomotor function pre- and post-treatment, and categorized into recovery and non-recovery groups based on outcomes. Factors associated with oculomotor o
