چکیده
Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a congenital absence of conjugate horizontal eye movement, with progressive scoliosis developing in childhood or adolescence. The authors identified two unrelated consanguineous families with HGPS. Genomewide homozygosity mapping and linkage analysis mapped the disease locus to a 30-cM interval on chromosome 11q23-25 (combined maximum multipoint lod score Z = 5.46).

Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis – A case report
Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by absence of conjugate horizontal eye movements and accompanied by progressive scoliosis developing in childhood and adolescence. It occurs due to mutation in ROBO 3 gene/chromosome 11q23-q25. We report a case of a 60-year-old lady who presented with complaints of defective vision in both eyes....
متن کاملMR imaging features of brain stem hypoplasia in familial horizontal gaze palsy and scoliosis.
We report the case of a child with horizontal gaze palsy, pendular nystagmus, and discrete thoracolumbar scoliosis. MR imaging of the brain depicted pons hypoplasia with an absence of the facial colliculi, hypoplasia, butterfly configuration of the medulla, and the presence of a deep midline pontine cleft (split pons sign). These MR imaging findings suggest familial horizontal gaze palsy with p...

HGPPS is a rare congenital disorder resulting from cranial nuclear maldevelopment and characterized by absence of conjugate horizontal eye movements, preservation of vertical gaze & convergence, progressive scoliosis developing in childhood and hypoplasia of dorsomedial brainstem structures associated with sagittal cleft of pons and medulla. We present a 19 years old male, with restriction of e...

BACKGROUND Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ROBO3 gene, resulting in a critical absence of crossing fibers in the brainstem. CASE PRESENTATION We present a patient with ipsilateral hemiparesis caused by putaminal hemorrhage who had a history of horizontal gaze paralysis and scoliosis since childhood. Diffusi...
