Surv Ophthalmol. 2006 Jan-Feb;51(1):68-74. doi: 10.1016/j.survophthal.2005.11.004.

Abstract

A 38-year-old man experienced double vision with pupillary abnormalities and convergence retraction nystagmus. A mass, which responded to radiation therapy, was seen as the cause of his dorsal midbrain syndrome. The neural control of vertical eye movements is reviewed and the management of a third ventricular-pineal region mass discussed.
