Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Bilateral horizontal gaze palsies are rare clinical presentations.
  • The paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) is crucial for coordinating horizontal eye movements.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 28-year-old woman presenting with bilateral horizontal gaze palsies.
  • The patient's condition was linked to lesions in the brainstem.

Findings:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques were identified as the cause of the bilateral horizontal gaze palsies.
  • The MS plaques specifically involved both left and right paramedian pontine reticular formations (PPRFs).

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare neurological manifestation of multiple sclerosis.
  • Understanding the specific PPRF involvement in MS is vital for diagnosing and managing gaze abnormalities.
