1: Strabismus The oculomotor nerve innervates several extraocular muscles and intraocular muscles. Oculomotor nerve paralysis manifests as paralysis of one or more of the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus and inferior oblique muscles on the same side of the eye as the lesion. Different eye muscle dysfunctions can cause changes in eye position.

2: Ptosis. Since the levator palpebrae superioris muscles are innervated by the oculomotor nerve, complete and incomplete ptosis often occurs after oculomotor nerve palsy.

3: Amblyopia. Congenital oculomotor nerve palsy or partial acquired oculomotor nerve palsy can cause amblyopia due to abnormal visual development caused by long-term ptosis.
