| Description |
Internuclear ophthalmoplegia is a localization sign of the lesion of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (LMF). Damage of the LMF causes deficit of ipsilateral adduction with contralateral abduction nystagmus. The internuclear ophthalmoplegia can be unilateral, frequently associated with skew deviation or bilateral in greater relation with vertical nystagmus. The most frequent cause in elderly patients is ischemia of the brainstem and in young adults or teenager multiple sclerosis. Internuclear ophthalphagia in pediatric patients is rare. We report 9 patients under 10 years of age with internuclear ophthalmoplegia. |
