Conjugate deviation as a presenting sign in a case of pontine tumour.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conjugate deviation of the eyes occurs mainly in cortical lesions and is infrequent in pontine lesions (Kestenbaum, I 96 I). It may be seen in advanced cases of pontine tumour with other well-marked localizing signs, but is rarely reported as the first sign. An interesting case, in which conjugate deviation of the eyes to the left was the first sign which brought the patient to our clinic, is reported below.
