Yes, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can cause third nerve palsy, though it is relatively uncommon. MS is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to demyelination and neurological symptoms. When lesions occur in areas of the brain that control eye movement, particularly affecting the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III), it can result in third nerve palsy, characterized by symptoms like double vision and eyelid drooping.

What happens if oligodendrocytes of the CNS are damaged?
demyelinating disease: multiple sclerosis, catastrophe, and cerebral palsy.
Which anxiolytics that can also be used to relieve the spasticity of multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy?

Can Sixth Nerve Palsy be caused by stress?
It can be a factor in reoccurring 6th nerve palsy. I had it 7 years ago and i just had a relapse. Cause unknown.
Can you die from a neurological disorder?
You certainly can. Diseases such as Meningitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebal Palsy etc are very serious conditions. Epilepsy can also cause seizures which can under some circumstances lead to death.
What is spasticity?
Spasticity is when muscles are continuously tight or stiff. Spasticity occurs commonly in multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and brain injury.
What part of the nervous system is affected by the bell's palsy?
The Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VII is the nerve involved with Bell's Palsy.
What cranial nerve is involved in Bell's palsy?
The Facial Nerve or Cranial Nerve VII is the nerve involved with Bell's Palsy.
Can shingles cause bells palsy?
Shingles can cause Bell's Palsy indirectly. The herpes zoster virus sometimes breaks out into shingles. The shingles may cause blistering in the area of the Facial Nerve (Cranial VII nerve) which controls the muscles on one side of the face or the other. This inflammation, not the shingles, is what causes Bell's Palsy. When shingles and Bell's Palsy are interrelated like this, it is called Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome.
Name the disease which cause paralysis of the facial muscles?
Bell's Palsy is one. Dysfunctional cranial nerve causes partial facial paralysis
Can shingles vaccine cause bell's palsy?
Yes, but only indirectly so. The herpes simplex virus (HSV 1) does not cause Bell's Palsy, but it can indirectly cause an inflammation to the Facial Nerve (cranial nerve VII). This inflammation is what then causes Bell's Palsy. The nerve is unable to control the facial muscles it is supposed to control. The herpes virus is the one most often cited as the cause of the inflammation that results in BP. The Herpes Zoster virus (chickenpox and shingles) and BP is another frequent combination and is known as Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome.
What are some examples of neurological diseases?
There are a number of examples of neurological diseases. Some of those examples include Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons, and multiple sclerosis, as well as palsy.
