Internuclear ophthalmoplegia in progressive supranuclear palsy

Abstract

Internuclear ophthalmoplegia has not previously been described in progressive supranuclear palsy. The present report draws attention to the occurrence of varying degrees of anterior internuclear ophthalmoplegia in 4 out of 13 cases of this condition studied over a 4-yr period. This finding suggests that the medial longitudinal fasciculus may be involved in the degenerative process in some cases of progressive supranuclear palsy.
