The significance of vertical gaze palsy in the paramedian thalamic artery syndrome

The paramedian diencephalic syndrome is characterized by a clinical triad of hyper-somnolent apathy, memory loss, and abnormalities of vertical gaze. The authors introduce a patient with the typical syndrome of paramedian thalamic artery infarction. The extent of the infarction was studied by MR ima...

Description
Summary:The paramedian diencephalic syndrome is characterized by a clinical triad of hyper-somnolent apathy, memory loss, and abnormalities of vertical gaze. The authors introduce a patient with the typical syndrome of paramedian thalamic artery infarction. The extent of the infarction was studied by MR imaging. Bilateral infarcts of the medial thalamus-accounting for the behavioral syndrome-and lesions in the area of the rostral interstitial nucleus of the medial longitudinal fasciculus-accounting for the vertical gaze palsy-were identified.
