Dorsal midbrain syndrome in multiple sclerosis

J F Slyman, L B Kline

    Neurology
    |February 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dorsal midbrain syndrome, a rare neurological condition, can manifest in multiple sclerosis patients. This case highlights the importance of considering MS in patients presenting with specific eye movement abnormalities.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Demyelinating Diseases

    Background:

    • Dorsal midbrain syndrome (DMS) is characterized by a specific set of neurological deficits.
    • It is typically associated with lesions in the midbrain region.
    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system.

    Observation:

    • A 34-year-old woman presented with isolated vertical diplopia.
    • Clinical examination revealed pupillary light-near dissociation, upward gaze paresis, convergence-retraction nystagmus, and skew deviation.
    • Cranial computerized tomography ruled out a space-occupying lesion.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with clinically definite multiple sclerosis.
    • The constellation of symptoms was attributed to dorsal midbrain syndrome secondary to MS.
    • This presentation of DMS in MS is considered rare.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diverse and sometimes unusual neurological manifestations of multiple sclerosis.
    • It emphasizes the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach in neuro-ophthalmological cases.
    • Recognizing rare presentations of DMS in MS is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
