Isolated bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia after ischemic stroke.
A 63-year-old man suddenly developed an isolated bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO). High-resolution brain MRI showed signal abnormalities consistent with acute ischemic stroke limited to the infra-aqueductal region of the midbrain bilaterally. This case offers graphic evidence that stroke can be responsible for an isolated bilateral INO.
