title: Acute esotropia from small thalamic hemorrhage.
abstract: A 74 year-old patient developed transient acute esotropia, upward gaze palsy and imbalance of standing and gait. Computed Tomography (CT) demonstrated a small left thalamic hemorrhage in the absence of midbrain lesions. The role of thalamic lesion in the genesis of monocular supranuclear palsy is discussed.
