    Abstract

    Morphologic studies of the oculomotor nerves of a diabetic patient are reported. The patient died from acute severe polyradiculoneuropathy confirmed by clinical and pathological findings. Both oculomotor nerves contained many onion bulb formations. There was no previous history of third nerve palsy. Onion bulb formations in the oculomotor nerve may contribute to our understanding of eventual subclinical pathology of the oculomotor nerve.
