title: Combined trochlear nerve palsy and internuclear ophthalmoplegia.
abstract: We report a case of left superior oblique palsy combined with a right internuclear ophthalmoplegia. A right mesencephalic lesion involving the trochlear nerve nucleus (or its fibers prior to decussation) and the medial longitudinal fascicle was hypothesized. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a lesion at the suspected level.
