Abstract

This report describes a case of prolactinoma that presented acutely with a third nerve palsy without evidence of apoplexy. The third nerve palsy resolved within 48 h on medical therapy. This is an atypical clinical presentation that highlights a successful and novel medical approach to treatment.
