Combined Trochlear Nerve Palsy and Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia

P. Vanooteghem, Ides Dehaene, Michel Van Zandycke, Jan Walther Casselman

Abstract

We report a case of left superior oblique palsy combined with a right internuclear ophthalmoplegia. A right mesencephalic lesion involving the trochlear nerve nucleus (or its fibers prior to decussation) and the medial longitudinal fascicle was hypothesized. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a lesion at the suspected level.
