Brucellosis is an endemic zoonotic disease in which neurobrucellosis occurs in 5-10% of cases. Variable clinical and radiological manifestations of neurobrucellosis can mimic those of other diseases. In this report, we present unusual clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a patient with neurobrucellosis and unilateral abducens nerve palsy. Her MRI showed punctate leptomening...

Although chordomas are midline tumors, primarily intrasellar chordomas are extremely rare. In this report, the authors describe the case of a 68-year-old female with partial abducens nerve palsy in the right eye due to the intrasellar cystic tumor. After endonasal trans-sphenoidal surgery, intraoperative and histopathological findings confirmed the co-occurrence of an entirely intrasellar chord...

A 12-month-old healthy, normally developing boy presented with rapidly increasing head circumference over 2 months and 1 week of strabismus. Head circumference was 50 cm (.99th percentile; mother 5 59.5 cm; father 5 56.5 cm). Examination showed limited abduction OD, overshoot of adduction OD, and no papilledema. MRI (figure) showed the right anterior inferior cerebellar artery traversing the ro...

Moebius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by nonprogressive uni- or bilateral abducens nerve (VI) and facial (VII) palsy. Other cranial nerves (CN) such as CN III, IV, IX-XII may be involved leading to varied presentations. Speech development, communication, psychomotor complications are common. Given the complexity of disease, patients require an individualized, multidiscipl...
