Summary
This study reports two cases of oculomotor palsy from midbrain infarction. Findings suggest the pupillary components of the oculomotor nerve are located in the upper midbrain, impacting pupillary reaction.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Neurology
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Oculomotor palsy can result from midbrain infarction.
- The precise localization of pupillary control pathways within the midbrain is not fully understood.
