Horizontal gaze palsy and progressive scoliosis: magnetic resonance imaging features and surgical treatment
DOI: 10.1590/S1679-45082017AI3969
A 13-year-old patient was referred for surgical treatment of scoliosis. Her neurological examination revealed the complete loss of horizontal eye movements with normal vertical gaze, suggesting diagnosis of horizontal gaze palsy and progressive scoliosis. The magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hypoplastic pons and medulla with a prominent midline cleft, therefore resulting in characteristic “butterfly” configuration.() The tractography showed absence of major crossing pathways within the pons and midbrain, and normal interhemispheric connections in the corpus callosum (). Surgical treatment for scoliosis was performed successfully ().
