CN III contains an inner central motor and an outer peripheral parasympathetic component.  Hence, different diseases may affect CN III differently.  The mechanical compression affects the outer parasympathetic output leading to “blown pupils” with absent papillary light reflex; while vascular diseases, like [[diabetes mellitus]], cause ischemic injury to the inner motor component.  Patients present with a “down and out” gaze when motor component is affected.

Answer E AnswerE::Atherosclerotic lesion of the coronary artery that supplies the anterior interventricular septum.
Answer E Explanation AnswerEExp::Atherosclerotic lesions of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) are not associated with ADPKD.
Right Answer RightAnswer::C
Explanation [[Explanation::Autosomal (adult) dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), an inherited renal disease, is characterized by fluid-filled cystic enlargement in both kidneys during adulthood that progressively leads to renal failure. ADPKD is associated with berry aneurysms and multiple cysts of the liver.

Berry aneurysms result from weakness of cerebral arteries, which causes dilation of the affected artery. Aneurysm formation in the posterior communicating artery may compress CN III.

CN III contains an inner central motor and an outer peripheral parasympathetic component, leading diseases to affect CN III differently. The mechanical compression affects the outer parasympathetic output leading to “blown pupils” with absent papillary light reflex, while vascular diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, cause ischemic injury to the inner motor component. Patients present with a “down and out” gaze when their motor component is affected.
Educational Objective: Autosomal (adult) dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited renal disorder characterized by the development fluid-filled cysts in both kidneys during adulthood. ADPKD is associated with berry aneurysms that frequently affect the posterior communicating artery, compressing CN III.
