title: Partial pontine hematomas.
abstract: Two hypertensive men presented clinically with small, largely unilateral hematomas of the pons and midbrain demonstrated by computerized tomography. Clinical manifestations included "ocular bobbing," complex forms of ophthalmoplegia, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, and pyramidal tract signs. The "typical" sings of massive pontine hemorrhage--including coma, pinpoint pupils, and hyperthermia--were absent.
