    The patient was asked to look straight ahead during examination. What's wrong with his eyes ?

    Ans : Occulomotor nerve palsy on right side

    There is ptosis and the eyes are deviated outwards and downwards - the typical 'down and out' appearance due to unopposed axn by lat. rectus and sup. oblique.

    Also note, the right eye pupil is blown - so an aneurysm of the post. communicating system should be ruled out as the parasym. fibers travel on the surface of CN 3 and are easily pinched by an aneurysm.
