Abstract
In reference to “Teaching Video NeuroImages: Palsy of conjugate horizontal gaze and face due to isolated abducens nuclear infarction,” Dr. Miller points out that the title may mislead readers into thinking that both the horizontal gaze palsy and the facial nerve palsy were caused by the abducens nuclear infarction, rather than the ipsilateral facial palsy being caused by damage to the facial nerve fascicles bordering the abducens nucleus. Author Kim agrees with Dr. Miller's concerns and has issued a correction to the title, changing it to “Palsy of conjugate horizontal gaze and face due to a restricted infarction involving the abducens nucleus.” The correction appears on page 942. In reference to “Teaching Video NeuroImages: Palsy of conjugate horizontal gaze and face due to isolated abducens nuclear infarction,” Dr. Miller points out that the title may mislead readers into thinking that both the horizontal gaze palsy and the facial nerve palsy were caused by the abducens nuclear infarction, rather than the ipsilateral facial palsy being caused by damage to the facial nerve fascicles bordering the abducens nucleus.
