Accommodation and convergence palsy caused by lesions in the bilateral rostral superior colliculus

Kenji Ohtsuka et al. Am J Ophthalmol. 2002 Mar.

Abstract

Purpose: To report a patient who developed accommodation and convergence palsy caused by lesions in the bilateral rostral superior colliculus.

Design: Observational case report.

Methods: A 30-year-old right-handed man experienced sudden onset of diplopia and blurred vision at near vision.

Results: The patient showed accommodation and convergence palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed lesions located in the bilateral rostral superior colliculus.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that the rostral superior colliculus is involved in the control of accommodation and vergence eye movements.
