Wall-eyed bilateral inter nuclear ophthalmoplegia with vertical gaze palsy.
A 64-year-old woman, diabetic and hypertensive, presented with sudden onset painless diplopia and alteration of consciousness. She was drowsy with neurological examination revealing exotropia of both eyes in primary position with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia on attempted horizontal gaze (Figure 1a). Pupils were normal bilaterally. Convergence, vertical saccades, pursuits and vestibula...

J.S. Kim, MD S.-H. Jeong, MD Y.-M. Oh, MD Y. Soon Yang, MD S.Y. Kim, MD A 78-year-old man with hypertension and diabetes was referred because of 3 days of diplopia and ophthalmoplegia. Neurologic examination disclosed exotropia of both eyes (wall-eyed) and bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (WEBINO) with impaired convergence (figure, A).1 Vertical saccades and smooth pursuit were also limit...
متن کاملCorrelating Function and Imaging Measures of the Medial Longitudinal Fasciculus
OBJECTIVE To test the validity of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures of tissue injury by examining such measures in a white matter structure with well-defined function, the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF). Injury to the MLF underlies internuclear ophthalmoparesis (INO). METHODS 40 MS patients with chronic INO and 15 healthy controls were examined under an IRB-approved protocol. Tiss...
متن کاملCell groups of the medial longitudinal fasciculus and paramedian tracts.
The aim of this article is to introduce the reader to a continuum of cell clusters which may play an important role in the maintenance of eye position. They lie interspersed between the fascicles of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) and paramedian tracts in the caudal pons and medulla, and they also constitute the rostral part of the classical abducens nucleus. Previous workers showed th...
متن کاملReflex vertical gaze and the medial longitudinal fasciculus.
Extraocular movements were investigated in a patient with bilateral vascular lesions of the medial longitudinal fasciculus. The patient showed voluntary and reflex horizontal gaze consistent with his lesion, but had absent reflex vertical gaze. Voluntary vertical gaze was present. Necropsy was performed, and the findings suggest that the medial longitudinal fasciculi in the pons conveys impulse...
