Overview

Daye Diana Choi and colleagues discovered that both general and abdominal obesity increased the incidence of cranial nerve palsies (CNP) in a retrospective cohort analysis. Furthermore, a combination of general and abdominal obesity may raise the risk of CNP. The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship between obesity and the development of third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerve palsies (CNP).

The findings of this study were published in the American Journal of ophthalmology on 17th September 2021.
