Recurrent isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy as a manifestation of preeclampsia.
Summary: A 28-year-old pregnant woman went to the doctor because she suddenly had double vision. Her left eye could not move properly. Doctors call this "sixth nerve palsy." It turned out to be a rare warning sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition involving high blood pressure during pregnancy. Doctors checked her brain and blood to rule out other causes, but everything else looked normal. The eye problem went away completely just five days after she gave birth. This case shows that eye trouble can be a sign of severe preeclampsia, and delivering the baby is the cure.
