A 52-year-old man was admitted due to high-grade fever with chills and cranial nerve
deficits. Fifteen days prior to hospitalization, a furuncle had developed over the
tip of the nose and had extended to involve the surrounding area and upper lip. He
was prescribed oral antibiotics, after which the lesion had started healing. However,
fever persisted, and 1 day prior to admission he noticed pain in his right eye and
forehead, with drooping of the eyelid and diplopia (Figure 1). On examination, complete right ophthalmoplegia due to right lateral and medial
rectus palsy was found (Figure 2A and 2B).
