Divisional patterns of oculomotor nerve palsy usually indicate a lesion involving the oculomotor nerve distal to anterior cavernous sinus where the nerve divides into the superior and inferior branches. In this patient, the ptosis and limitation of elevation in the left eye indicate a lesion limited to the oculomotor superior division that innervates the levator palpebrae and superior rectus. Orbital lesions including lymphoma should be considered in divisional patterns of oculomotor palsy.
