Loss of accommodation produced by peristriate lesion in man?
We observed a bilateral accommodative paresis associated with a spontaneous parieto-occipital hematoma in a 37-year old patient. There was no clinical or computerized tomography (CT) evidence of transtentorial herniation or upper brainstem pathology. With resolution of the hematoma, accommodation returned to normal.
