Upward and Downward Gaze Palsy, Convergence Palsy, Concomitant Skew Deviation and Bilateral Light-Near Dissociation Due to a Unilateral Rostral and Dorsal Midbrain Infarction

Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1. Pupil diameter was 5 mm in both eyes in an illuminated room. Palpebral aperture measured 8.5 mm in the both eyes (upper and left panel). Despite convergence palsy, near response of pupil was prompt in both eyes (upper and right panel). Upward and downward gaze palsy and concomitant skew deviation with left-sided hypotropia were observed. Upward gaze palsy was greater than downward (lower panels).

Figure 2. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging on axial image (A-D: diffusion-weighted, D: magnification of B, E: apparent diffusion coefficient) demonstrated a localized infarct lesion in the rostral and dorsal midbrain on the left side (arrows).
