Dear Editor,Dorsal pontine lesions may cause a variety of complex neuro-ophthalmic deficits,including horizontal gaze palsy(HGP),internuclear ophthalmoplegia,one-and-ahalf syndrome,abducens nerve palsy,skew deviation,...Dear Editor,Dorsal pontine lesions may cause a variety of complex neuro-ophthalmic deficits,including horizontal gaze palsy(HGP),internuclear ophthalmoplegia,one-and-ahalf syndrome,abducens nerve palsy,skew deviation,or any combination of these.Here we present a rare case of an adult patient who developed multiple complicated clinical manifestations after surgical removal of a pontine cavernous hemangioma(PCH).Our case highlights a single pontine lesion may involve complicated neural pathways and result in complicated symptoms and signs,in which abducens nerve palsy or skew deviation is easily missed when combined with HGP.展开更多
