Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A patient with advanced AIDS presented with right conjugate gaze palsy and impaired adduction on left gaze (the one-and-a-half syndrome). The responsible pontine lesion involved the ipsilateral abducens nucleus and the adjacent medial longitudinal fasiculus (MLF), as demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Tuberculosis (TB) was the etiology of the brainstem lesion. The patient had complete recovery after anti-tuberculosis treatment. The nuclear location of the tuberculoma is unusual and the reversal of this neuro-ophthalmologic syndrome is noteworthy. |
