Magnetic resonance images in a case of "divergence paralysis".
The clinical syndrome of divergence paralysis has been described since the mid 19th century. Speculation still surrounds the possible existence of an anatomical center for divergence function. Our report explores this possibility and describes the magnetic resonance images of a patient with a unilateral 6th nerve palsy who later developed the clinical picture of divergence paralysis.
