Ocular motility issues, like gaze palsy and abducens nerve issues, can be early signs of brainstem dysfunction in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These neurological findings may indicate focal brainstem lesions or concurrent infections.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection can lead to various neurological complications.
  • Brainstem dysfunction is a potential neurological manifestation in HIV patients.

Observation:

  • Three patients with HIV presented with initial clinical features of ocular motility dysfunction.
  • Manifestations included conjugate gaze palsy with ipsilateral facial paresis, bilateral abducens palsy, gaze paresis, and homolateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia with abducens nerve paresis.

Findings:

  • Two patients exhibited focal brainstem lesions confirmed by neuroimaging.
  • The third patient presented with concurrent infection with Treponema pallidum.

Implications:

  • Ocular motility abnormalities may serve as early indicators of focal brainstem dysfunction in HIV.
  • These findings highlight the importance of ophthalmological examination in the neurological assessment of HIV-infected individuals.
  • Concurrent infections, such as syphilis, should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
