In a complete oculomotor nerve palsy, patients show ptosis(paresis of the levator), abduction(paresis of the medial rectus and compensatory overaction of the lateral rectus) and dilated pupils. In oculomotor nerve palsy, the functions of four of the six extraocular muscles are compromised and its treatment is the most difficult problem in the paralytic strabismus. Currently, if the condition of the oculomotor nerve palsy is not improved within a year, surgical correction can be attempted. We experienced an improved case of the oculomotor nerve palsy in a Benedikt's syndrome patient treated with oriental medicine. We used herbal medicine and acupuncture. Based on this experience, it is considered that oriental medicine can be applied to the treatment of the oculomotor nerve palsy. Oculomotor nerve, Palsy, Ptosis, Abduction, Benedikt's syndrome.
