Subject Ophthalmoplegia; Horizontal Gaze Palsy; Pontine Infarction
Description Complete bilateral horizontal gaze paralysis has been reported from causes including hemorrhage, masses, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. However, a complete horizontal gaze palsy in the absence of other neurological symptoms from a single, isolated pontine infarction has not previously been reported. We report a case of complete bilateral horizontal gaze palsy as the only presenting sign of inferior pontine infarction.
